The Lioness Inside of Me

Sensual as my dreams she enters me 
with a silent roar pinned between 
two amber eyes of dissociative chit 
I can feel her constitution her fugue 
of dissociation, she is but an echo   
of my pulsing memory and heart abode

She is the lioness inside of me 
 her 
            roar, 
is the pantomimed hope of my 
well being and solemn oath of 
            sanity.
