Across Enemy Lines


You remind me of regal figures which exude raw power and endless confidence. You are much like a lion, proudly parading the territory it has claimed. You could come off for a french aristocrat with your tender features, cutting remarks and dangerous arrogance. You could be the actor who stars in a life-long series of successes at the box-office and ultimately ends up winning the Liftetime Achievement Award. You are quite like the CEO cum billionaire of a company with an endless number of loyal admirers, wanton lovers and envious rivals. But most importantly, you could be that missing piece of my heart that I seem to have lost but can't recollect when. We simple cannot unite; for fear of hatred and abandon  from our respective families. Families which are as good as non-existent; the kind which wake up only when threats to their pride and security become more profound. Families which make me sick with their needless violence, interference and psychological manipulation. How I wish i could run far away with you to the wilderness and escape this tedious circus of a  life where we are humiliated, abused and laughed down at. We could then live out a fairytale romance worthy of being published as a novel, where you could rightfully claim your title as King of the Jungle and I, as your faithful queen.
