My dream is a Tigress
Though at first only a sound
A muted roar that rumbles
in her throat deep down
Her presence made known
by the hair on my neck
She hasn’t seen me
At least not yet
Fear rumbles through me
and tells me to hide
The bush that recieves me
Now our only divide
She snorts and shakes
My eyes behold of her might
Her breath seeths from within
and then clouds in the night
Theres a churning inside me
someting foreign and strange
My destiny is beckoning
Its time for a change
I bare my teeth
and clench my fists tight
I must claim what is mine
I accept the fight
I step out in the clear
My chest puffed and erect
The Tigress then turns
and licks her lips wet
I crouch and she coils
Her fangs shown in the night
We circle and it begins
The wind calls forth our plight
Her eyes boil with rebellion
She is unclaimed and un kempt
She lunges forward and hits me
My eyes fall blind but my vision’s set
She turns to run
but by the tail she is snagged
She roars in the night
across my cheek her nails dragged
My head is spinning
Blood flows to my chest
But through the pain I’m grinning
“You haven’t killed me yet!”
I jump, nothing barring
Through her coat my fingers slide
On her neck I grip with conviction
I let go of and beam with pride
My momentum pulls me above her
My legs dig deep in her sides
She roars out calling the thunder
I laugh ‘cus I have lightening inside
With a kick she jumps then plunge forward
She is a frantic and wild delight
My head back as I summon the wonder
I howl out and my cry fills the night
She is mine and is claimed by no other
My courage unconquered by fright
My dream now bows to my keeping
Two feral souls now riding as one
My destiny, my soul is now seeking
My Tigress, we’ve just begun
It is a beautiful analogy. Really loved the line ‘I laugh cus’ I have lightning inside.’ Please write more, dear friend.
