At night

At night out comes the king of the jungle

With the cool night air and the stars to mingle

He smells prey and utters an earth shattering roar

Only to feel pain in the form of a spear

This was followed by another spear

Bloodied I ran for my life dear

I nursed my wounds near the river

Away from the owner of the cowardly spear

Hallaj met a similar fate on the pyre

Speaking truth has consequences dire

I seek you in the city with huge walls

I can see the light from the hills

The moat is full of crocodiles hungry

There is no way in and I am angry

Am I to find you only there?

Are you not to be found elsewhere?

I seek you in flowers different

I seek you in every element

All my hunters fled

the river washed my blood

Until the wounds disappear

I will not in the night appear

To hunt for you is but my life

Getting hurt is a part of that strife

I came as the cheetah,tiger and lion

To eat tasty venison

In your pursuit I walk on grass and thorn

It hurts only the heart and makes me forlorn

I can only keep the hope to meet

Then there will be only your presence so sweet
