the nightmare of the tiger

trapped am i

in cage of tangled wire and solid concrete.

crave,

     moan,

           wail!

know you not that i'm suffercating in hell.

take me back to a land of perfect freedom where the calm water meets the fluffy sand .

take me back to the air i used to breathe.

take me back to paridise of happines and kindess.

captured am i 

in a fort of misery and cold petrified boarders i can't pass.

pine,

   sob, 

      ache 

know you not that my soul is a forest.

hunt with me through the silky leaves,

hunt with me across the damp leaves.

rest now,

hear the birds chirp and the flowers bloom.
