Marble Lion

Marble Lion

Lion lazily lopes lopsidedly,
Lives lavish like late lamentation;
Man miraculously makes mightier
Though, through time to touch,
An ancient anonymous anger.

Fearsome feet, ferociously forces
Frozen, fearless, feline;
Vicious venting voice vanishes
Though, through time to touch,
Beautiful brute banished.

Gate, Gives great gratitude,
Locked; lovely loneliness lingers
Past. Present picturesque pain
Though, through time to touch;
Happiness; hope; harmony.
