The Lioness - a poem by Dianne Ameshe  Lioness was sleeping 

When you sneaked into her lair ~ 
You found her empty heart
 

and left your essence there.
 

You filled her den with vapor,  elixir strong and sweet. 
Enticements and surprises
 

you placed beneath her feet 

When she (Herself) awakened 
to see the morning light
 

she stumbled on your presents
 

and giggled with delight !
 

Who was this secret Dveller 
the mystery of night?
 

A Prince of myrth and magic
 

who vanishes from sight .... 

The vapor of this stranger  still lingers 
in the air
 
eternal love - elixir 
to stain the Lady's lair
.... 

Illusionary rapture:
Alas, but just a dream

Our fantasies examined
 

are never what they seem


 
What is the sacred meaning... 
These 'presents'  that I keep?
 

They are forever with me
 
and haunt me when I sleep. 

A poem written for my 'virtual' Russian Lover
