Just Pondering
Savagery on a subtle wing
tiger eyes, jaws of steel
cloak of velvet, colored sublimely
nestled on a bed of flowers
the scent of sweet in his nostrils
and the butterfly, how does he/she feel,
melded with a killer tiger on it's velvet, soft back?
Stifled by an inability to fly, to soar heavenward
to caress a flower as it dips and weaves over head
how can this be done with a tiger on it's back?

they'll fall away one by one as strands of you milk the moments you had for what they were worth, still smouldering in the hand even though you knew in your hearts mind that it was pretence as they smiled behind soft contemptuous lips that offer you quiet resentment instead of love just because you breathe and are uniquely you, and that makes them uncomfortable against their square jawed perfect, materialistic plan that can't afford you but can their every whim which makes them sorely aware of their superlative selves so they push you away thinking you are less than them because you don't fit but you keep steering steadfast in the sanctity of truth inside of trust as the most valuable integer and they fear ''your being'' because through you they see themselves impoverished, and their superior ways collapse in blind belief as they continue to make spaces ''for time'' more than sharing or listening or caring for anyone else because what they want is never enough- so let them fall away to be left as dust when matter does not matter and when you are feeling raw and naked and real then you can afford the comfort of being with another and that is what is true and right and real and what you are all about.

Very pensive and reflective. An excellent amalgamation of this thread as far as it has thus far progressed, condensed into a poem and an image, both communicating much more that their size (that is the size of the picture and the poem) would normally allow.
Also ends with food for thought. Very nice bit of work.
