There's a Story

Story of love and lust

There's a tiger on the loose,
There's a man feeling caged,
There's a search for the truth,
There's a pearl upstaged.

About that tiger,
She's out in the world,
He'd love to catch her,
It sounds so absurd.
He's chasing and hoping,
And waiting for the second,
But hasn't found the first,
Excuse to just wreck it.

Tiger can't seem
To make up her mind,
So many issues,
But always fakes fine.
She doesn't acknowledge,
Augmentative lies,
Like weight on his shoulders,
She's cold in disguise.

Who knows the answer?
Why? Is the question.
Fake little demon,
Real world thespian.

A new light shines through,
As lightning has struck,
A pearl is found,
The man is in luck.
As he stops running after,
Realizes life's bigger,
The tiger runs off,
Like his finger from the trigger.

The pearl never runs,
Just glimmers as he shines it,
She's been in plain sight all along,
Just took some time to find it.
This pearl knew all along,
The tiger was counterfeit,
But spared the man, in adoration,
In case it came to fit.

Can it be true?
Can this be he one?
The demons have gone.
He sets down the gun.

The man sits in dismay,
He nearly lost his heart,
Kept the pearl close by now,
Not in love to start.
The cover of the pearl's book,
Did not tell her story,
Quick to jump the man was blind,
But still she waited for him.

As time would wear on,
The man would find fast,
The pearl stayed true.
The pearl showed class.
And now as it stands
The pearl's held tight,
The man found forever,
The pearl shines bright

The tiger that runs,

Is in fact the one caged,
The man feeling trapped,
Is now disengaged.
As the man finds joy,
There's no remains of the rage
There's a story somewhere,
Maybe on this page.

Really interesting story- I loved the metaphors.

I would suggest reducing space in between lines, and perhaps separating it into stanzas- also, I would try to be a bit more concise, and perhaps clarify some parts. Otherwise, I think this was excellent. Nice write. :)

I thought this was really a good story and poem. This poem kind of reminded of the Young and the Restless. There is so much love and lust in the show that this poem reminds me of it. I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.

Are there any specific questions that you feel were left unanswered? I have re-written this one a few times and I wouldn't mind adding more to it. Thank you for your review.

I love how you used, tiger and pearl, to describe the women. I'm not to much of a fan of longer poems, cause i dont have a very big attention span lol, but this one kept me reading. Good job.
