Tiger Smile
8 June, 2008
Author: Hazzard

Thunderous noise of the onlookers clouds my mind,
So long have I listened to their pleas
Followed their commands
Tried to make them happy
So happy did I make them that I have followed to my end
In front of them... in their arena... for their sport

My finale comes wrapped in muscle and fur
Stripes, teeth, claws
They await my terror as their last reward
For their treacherous scheming

I am sorry
No terror do I show
But only a smile for my tiger
And a fire for my soul

Welcome to my arena
Where's your smile now?

i love your lines, and their meaning...

i wonder how many will be able to read between them, and understand what it is that you are really saying...? i believe that i was in your arena at one time, but perhaps i am wrong... i left my part of the arena, however, and i escaped the fury of the tiger's smile, although i have seen the tiger smile before. peace, my friend...
