Of Tigers Poem by Suraj Samtani

Both are tigers. Both are twelve years apart.

Both are in love. Both are restrained by others.



Both seek solace in their imaginations and dreams.

Both yearn for something more than just oridnary.



Both are birds without wings. Both are mammals without legs.

Both wish to see the sky's limit. Both yearn to feel the ground's depth.



Operated by society, medicated by its laws.

Jailed by their own acts, trapped within their own selves.



Both roar at the passersby. Both desperate for something more.

Both frustrated in their jail. Anxious they remain, for their next bail.



Both from the same family, though. Both willing to live at each other's cost.

Both are called 'Tigers', yet. Both are preys of themselves.
