Tiger (Free verse) by Flattop
How to kill the hunger
It runs free in my soul
am i still a predator
do i eat my victims whole
I want someone to nurture
I want someone to kiss
but i still want to chase and hunt
I still yearn for this
Is it in my instinct
Or am i a man begotten
Is it in my DNA
or am i purely rotten
Am i a tiger on the game
My soul it aches so sore
Am i a player am i the game
Or am i just a bore
If i tire of the hunt
Im sure my life is through
For i am made of wanderlust
I wander without you
If you think i get tied down
in all of lifes humanity
Its true i tremble but do not bend
In view of my responsability
But in my deepest darkest desires
A lonely tiger lurks
It feeds from smiles and winks
Its rarely sated thirst
It longs to roam free and hunt
as every tiger does
I hear the hounds a baying
My eyes turn to the front
I watch her tail wagging
The hunter joins the hunt
