Popcorn

Your fur the color of orange cream intertwined with gold,

your radiant mane tinged with saffron billowing in the wind,

you are the mighty king of the savanna,

you are

prideful, regal, elegant.

I love you like the sun loves the moon

The kind of love that only exists in the in-betweens

Between day and night

Because love is a spectrum

And I don't love you at the end of it

I love you in that sweet spot
