Poem Title:
Poem
That golden arrow And flickering flame Ceases the tigers rage But not forever No not forever the tiger will grow like the fire one day And shine like that golden powerful arrow Tiger tiger you can not be trapped in such a feeble way And you know that you are patiently waiting to rise And I fear plenty for the trappers I know for myself that this tiger Does not pity Tiger tiger This cage of light will be destroyed You are in no way forced to stay here just dreaming of what could be Wishing upon stars tiger This isn’t you Your stripes have an illusionary power Tiger tiger Your eyes pierce the surface of the sky Your lonliness will spread among the earth like an endless fog But you will never admit it to the world Because the war is not over until you have won Tiger tiger You are life in and of itself You are light in it’s simplest form Tiger tiger The tears you shed, Are powerful tears of not sadness But anger You will escape this cage I do not fear for you And although you and I are close I know that one day you are bound to escape And never look back once I cannot follow you It is not my life style and You cannot stay it is not yours either But by fate we are bound to met again at least once before we die At least once is nice Just fine So when I return And you have disappeared leaving nothing but your collar In your place I will not be saddened I will not shed a tear Because you will be happy Tiger tiger May you live in peace Free forever under the firelight sky pounding the earth with your legs And running as far as you wish Forever and away Tiger tiger
