In my dreams <br />I take the paws <br />Of a lonely tiger <br />And together we dance <br /> <br />My love, I’ll find you <br /> Ablaze in a funeral pyre <br /> <br />We swim together <br />The tiger and I <br />Through cities <br />Made of emerald <br /> <br />My love, I’ll find you <br /> Ablaze in a funeral pyre <br /> <br />Lions watch jealously <br />As the king of the jungle <br />Is passed over <br />For the lord of the dance <br /> <br />My love, I’ll wait for you <br /> Ablaze in a funeral pyre.<br /><br />Jeffrey McCambridge<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lord-of-stripes/
