POEM: SPIRIT OF A LION WITHIN

Lurking in over the shadows

is the ever patient spirit of a lion within

he of course is loyal

… he is kind

and he is powerful

he is gentle and viscous

he is gorgeous and unkempt

righteously so he is ruler

his success behaves so ferociously well you almost don’t quite understand how he does it

with manors so eloquently quaint, one fails to recognize it is HE that lay the claw in your back

loyal—yes

but as he loosens his chest—a swift motion so rugged and daft—no one dare stand in the way of what comes next from the spirit of a lion within
