Beautiful Creature

He walked, his majestic mane it glowed

Glowed in the light of the morning sun

Like a million threads of gold it glowed

When the light was fading and the day was done

His skin was ocher, a million yellows

Colours that have no name

Beautiful shades of gold shot brown

That never once faded the same

He stole his colours from the sun

And yet he shines like a galaxy on his own

How is it possible to carry such magic?

When he walks the grass alone?

His voice was beautiful, a soothing thrum

Like the voice of a storm in the wind

Pounding, thudding and skipping hearts

The oncoming rush of whirlwind

How did he become so handsome, so majestic?

Where does he find that magic, that grace?

Why does he walk alone, I wonder

Why deny the welcome embrace?

Brave you are, my beautiful creature

Your heart is beautiful, your soul is a diamond

Throwing wonderful colours in the light of the sun

Beautiful creature, your spirit is darkened

Be not afraid of the light of the sun, be not afraid of her love

Let her warm healing rays touch your skin

She will shine for you, so roar to sky

Beautiful creature; my wonderful brave-lion...

...let me be your sun. 

For my lion :) ♥

Scaring Happiness

Happiness chased me,

pursued me for so long

But I ran away because it scared me.

Happiness stabbed me,

like a knife, in the back

But I screamed not because I was petrified.

Happiness pushed me,

off the edge of a cliff

I didn't open my eyes because I was brave

Happiness called to me,

like a mist creeping over

I sent it away with kisses and then I fled

Happiness held me,

in the arms of someone until I cried

Happiness kept coming, wave after wave

Until I stopped running.

And when I stopped running..

.. it stopped chasing.

So I chased happiness in hot pursuit.

But happiness ran because it was scared of me.
