The Lioness

soft gilded skin 
daggers gloved in velvet

rage lies heavy on her tongue, 
roaring in her dreams, 
wanting to wake and 

yet she pauses 
uncertain

still sleeps

Hello everyone!

I’ve seen that I have a few more subscribers in the last week or two, so I wanted to say thank you! Your support is so encouraging, just to know someone is reading my work. I do apologize for my sporadic interaction here; my writing has been sidelined by school and work for the time being. Anyway, I did manage to squeak in some time for this little piece today. Please let me know what you think of it, or if you have any questions.

Fair winds and following seas!
