Not Today!



 I have courted the lioness
The feral graceful cat,
And in all her prowess
I have won her heart
Or so I think

She walks me proudly
Before her kind
Silenced many a hungry howl
Froze many a greedy growl
With but a single scowl

She took meat from her gangs
My hunger to atone
Caressed me with her fangs
On a bed of rotten bones
My rivals in envy watched

I looked deep into her eyes
Steaming cauldron of tender love
Loads of brutal strength for spice
In those blood curdling stuff
I clearly saw my fear

One day, I may be waking
Not in the warmth of her embrace
One day, I may be waking
In the warmth of her belly
One day... but not today
