+--------Our Love In The Lion's Den

Kendall my love for you is
Darius the Mede, King of
Babylon by day sleepless
sympathizer of the lonely and
dateless at night. The conniving
girls in my life are Presidents
and princes of the royal court,
subversive subjects, saboteurs
of stated intentions of the throne,
who’d undermine all Ive hoped
for my entire life by impetuously
flinging my heart into a dire lion’s
den of repeated romantic repudiations.
Oh babes, wont you be my angel and
marry me, wont you at least drink coffee
with me? Imbue me with strength beyond
the stone to stroke whiskers of beasts
of my worst fears of being forever
forsook, bereft of your rapturous smile,
olive skin and dark eyes of captivation?
Oh your kiss would be ethereal,
dazzling white light of presence in my dark,
your smile celestial wings flapping, the
scepter of your sexy voice threatening all
aggressive growling or fangs of despair and
pity…the feline jaws of low self esteem tightly
clenched somehow overcome with sustained
servility. Then, the King could finally rest,
he’d dream of us as husband and wife
…happily ever after a Kingdom of peace.  


----Daniel 6:12-28
Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day. Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him. Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed. Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel. Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him. Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den. Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
