Always cream rises
Greater than a single cup
Madness embodied
Too vast for this world
Gentle generosity
Quiet tenderness
Bravado to prove
Excellence executed
Best there's ever been
Revelled in reveal
Lionheart magnificence
Broken, the walls fell
Cold steel posts stand tall
Bear witness to spectacle

"The Tudor Rose, The Lion and The Sceptre of Light"
God bless
The Queen
Shield of Tudor Rose
and Lion rampant
the 3 of Lionheart,
guardant passant
Unicorn and azure harp
rose and thistle stand
with shamrock, connected
wars and battles
conflicted, a home
not seamless,
stands firm, apart
sanctuary is never easy
when grief is the price
we pay for love
duty bound
for Love,
of Her dominion
and Her people
Lion and Lamb
above all others,
at all cost, to self
constant Her
selfless shield of duty,
brave royal heart
arms never folding
outstretched
open wide apart
dieu et mon droit
"God and my right"
before Life, it starts
God bless
The Queen,
a life long lived
walking towards
Her sovereign,
now in sight
calls to Her
as if She
were a child,
halo crown
sceptre of Light
The Lion passant
her mighty Sovereign,
King and Lord,
now in her sight

(b. 21.4.26 - d. 8.9.22, 96Yrs)
Our Zulu village was desperate; so many people were dying.
We knew it was time to send someone to collect impundulu eggs.
Let’s send the captive boy, someone suggested. He was from another village.
If the lightning bird got him, who would care?
But he seems rather nice, Grandmother Lionheart said. Let’s send Petebert.
Petebert’s mother was oversized and overbearing, so that did not work.
Finally it was decided that Gabsma, the captive boy should be sent.
He nodded his head as if he understood but was gone for a month.
On the thirty-first day a human-sized lightning bird attacked our village.
It landed on Petebert, killing him. We watched in horror as she drank his blood.
Is that a shape shifter or an impundulu? I wondered, fearful to get close.
No matter, the head witch doctor told us. We will have to send someone else.
I ran screaming from the village after piercing black his eyes landed on me.
His lighting bird familiar caught me and dragged me back.
I knew my death was only a matter of time.
I drank my psychedelic medication eagerly.
"LIONHEART"
My LIONHEART walks with me
Fierce is His courage
Becalmed His voice, He raises me
Never knocks me down
My LIONHEART walks with me
TRUE is His LOVE
My ONE TRUE KING
Who truly leads
My LIONHEART walks with me
Hands me His heart and says, "Stand with Me"
(Lovejoy-Burton/April 2018)
"LEO in the Sign of Cancer"
Leo has entered the sign of Cancer
Swimming through stormy seas
See, C, Si
The Lionheart is my
Only One True Leader
Walks with me
Deep Waters
He gives me His Lionheart, Let’s me just, “BE”
(Lovejoy-Burton/April 2018)
For my daughter, Georgia -
It's a jungle out there baby.
With this guy next to you, always,
you will make it through ALL storms.

I have a darling kitten I call Mozart
We cannot stand to be apart
We play games similar to go fish and lawn dart
Then I paint canvases with colourful kitty art
Every so often I manage to tiptoe and depart
Sometimes slipping away for a coffee and a tart
But for my kitty I’ll order tuna à la carte
And when I return with a bag from the mart
Mozart, you know what’s coming you’re so smart
Mozart, you hide and seek in my laundry cart
Leave paw prints when I spread out any chart
You are fluffy and cuddly and love to play the part
You have the cutest whiskers and the biggest lionheart
You’ll forever be my adorable little Sweetheart
But please tell me, wherever did you learn to fart?

In a world beating down...
The Lionhearts rise...
Strength of will...
Strength of the wise...
Such hearts...
Full of grace,
Full of compassion
Lionhearts...
Claim their crown
Lionhearts...
Rise up everyday...
They never stay down
For,Lionhearts...
Fight for their crown
So many people to fall
Yet, a Lionheart is within us all
Where there is far to go
Look inside...
For down below
Beats a heart
like a lion so
