Until You Run Away From Me ... Poem by RIC BASTASA

Until You Run Away From Me ...



i must have
been a tiger
and yet i
did not know
it until you
hinted that
i have sharper
claws
that i roared
in your silence
that i look
so hungry
and you
are the
innocent prey
i have not really
known it
well until you
decided
to run away from
me.
