The Lion & Me
I met a Lion once
A King with his crown
He judged me a dunce
He made me a clown
With his big Sphinx’s eyes
That look crossed my heart
Like a sword cold as ice
He, almighty and imponent
Me, miserable and impotent
Was bewitched
In my chest placed a flame
Oh silly Lion, I was so mad
Who would I blame?
In our second meeting
There was a friendly greeting
When our eyes first met
The heart and brain made a bet
He looks frightened
He looks sweet
The heart chanced
He looks frightful
And you will bleed
The brain glanced
Hereafter, playful as a child
The lion came, inchmeal
The flame danced very wild
Euphoric making swirls
Warm the heart smiled
The Brain confused, whirled.
Blushing, this big Lion came
Slowly and shy, we snuggled
Misunderstood by his fame
His heart too struggled
When he calls my name
As we walk together
I know it is forever
In the end there was no fight
The brain happily lost the bet
The heart was always right
From the beggining we met
The Lion & Me
