Year of the Tiger who does not fear

The tiger that walks and hunts in water

Celebrate the Year of the Tiger Queen and Tiger King,

Count your blessings and listen to the nightingale sing.

Enjoy your life in the Year of the Tiger reign,

Take your freedom and break every chain.

As a cub, he was wild and free,

To him, the pond was an open sea.

He played with his brother and sisters three,

He played on the sand and he walked by the sea.

The teenage tiger hunted with his father,

He learned to move silently in the tall grass.

The teenage tiger grew as the years passed.

The water tiger was a young and brave,

He lived with his parents in the dark cave.

The years came and then one day,

His parents were captured as he went to play.

He still remembers that terrible day,

That was the day when he became an adult.

He learned to run and to hunt.

It is the Year of the brave and fearless Tiger,

The Tiger hunts on land and on water.

It is the Year of the commanding Tiger,

The Tiger hunts her prey and knows no fear.

Every tiger wounded in the battle of life,

Can be powerful, forceful, and cruel.

It is only by seeing the good in life,

The wounded tiger overcomes strife.

The King of the Jungle came third,

In the cosmic race of time.

Being the King of the Jungle,

There was never time to moan and whine.

The Tiger is King or Queen wherever they may be,

They have a powerful presence,

Whether they sit on a throne or on a tree.

The Tiger Queen and the Tiger King,

Rule with power, force, and great authority.

Follow the rules in the year of the Tiger King,

Watch your fortune grow as the birds sing.

Watch you step under the reign of the Tiger Queen,

To receive a bounty of wishes you have never seen.

The Tiger King and Queen have a great sense of justice,

A commanding presence you simply cannot miss.

The Tiger always works for the common good,

You can count your blessing and knock-on-wood.

Celebrate the Year of the Tiger Queen and Tiger King,

Count your blessings and listen to the nightingale sing.

Enjoy your life in the Year of the Tiger reign,

Take your freedom and break every chain.

Tiger in the Rain

Free to walk again

THE TIGER LIES ASLEEP.

In the caverns of the soul.

The sunlight never enters,

To make his and her dreams whole.

The tiger in the darkness prowls,

The tiger in the darkness growls.

You have your great vision,

Formed carefully with precision.

Yet, you hesitate to fulfil your dream,

Lacking the confidence to make it real.

You walk and you roam in the wild,

Like a lost and forgotten child.

All the dreams that you hold dear,

Are lost and abandoned with every passing year.

To finally fulfil your ambitious dreams,

You need to believe in who you are.

To make all those great visions a reality,

You need to push each and every boundary.

Remember that it is not a sin,

To release the tiger hidden within.

Set the tiger free to walk in the rain,

Let her be free to work miracles again.

Break those bars of platinum and steel,

That hold you back from your destiny.

Remove those barriers that hold you in,

It is time to release your tiger from within.

The Myth of the Tiger

Protector of Mankind

Wherever there is trouble,

Wherever there is strife.

The tiger protects human life.

When the three disasters,

Fire, thieves and ghosts appear,

As they get ready to strike,

The tiger chases them away,

Removing all traces of doubt and fear.

The myth of the tiger loudly growls,

As the tiger king silently prowls,

In the forest of the universe.

The tiger lives in every tigerverse.

The ancients said that tigers,

That have lived for five centuries,

Turn into majestic white tigers.

In the matters of equilibrium,

Tigers were said to live for a millennium.

The myth and legend of the tiger,

Begins to evolve and grow every year,

Making the power of the tiger appear.

The tiger was created to protect humankind,

A more powerful icon you cannot find.

It is now that we need to save and protect,

This wild and honourable animal.

To preserve and protect its habitat,

From pollution, avarice and greed.

Preserve the myth of the tiger,

As it gives hope and dispels fear.

The myth of the tiger loudly growls,

As the tiger king silently prowls,

In the forest of the universe.

The tiger lives in every tigerverse.

The Forever Man

Living like a King and a Tramp

What if there was a man?

A special kind of man,

A man who lives forever?

How would this man,

Occupy his days and nights,

Fill his mind and his life?

Would he live like a Baron or a King?

For a year or a century doing nothing,

Or would he live like a hermit,

To find the meaning of life,

The purpose of his destiny?

He would just sit and meditate on it.

Mister X is the forever man who has lived,

For longer than he can clearly remember or tell.

He has lived through dark history and darker times,

He has seen omens and spotted all the signs.

He remembers the Kings and Queens of Old,

All the legends, the myths that were told.

He remembers the battles he has fought,

He recalls the tragedies that were wrought.

He remembers the fair maidens he has won.

He often thinks about all his daughters,

He does even think about his only son.

Mister X, the forever man has outlived them all.

He has outlived his enemies and his friends,

He knows that life has no end.

Mister X occupies his time,

Moving quietly from country to country,

Amused those men and woman are still not free.

Man and woman are still slaves of time,

They live, they love, they laugh and dine.

The forever man patiently waits for that day,

When he is shown that ancient path,

That will set his soul free to fly away.

The Forever Woman

Lives in a cottage by the sea

The forever woman fell into love

It was the joy of living forever.

She filled her life with love and romance,

She enjoyed the thrill of the cosmic dance.

There was no need to rush into love,

There was no need to rush her life.

She carried around her an air of mystery,

She was the wonderful and fabulous Miss Eternity.

The forever woman was never a Queen,

Nor was she slave to anyone in all her life.

She knew how to keep away from hurt and strife.

The legend of Miss Eternity was a great mystery,

To all who lived and died around her.

She always looked so youthful and free,

She had this boundless reservoir of energy.

Throughout her life she lived free,

There were no children born to keep her down,

There was no old age to form a crease or a frown.

Her family had passed away centuries ago.

She looked after the underprivileged with her wealth,

As she watched them thrive before her eyes,

The fruits of her own dedication and enterprise.

The greatest gifts that she received in life,

Was being surrounded by those she had helped.

They were her constant companions,

Always present through thick and thin.

This kept her warm and contented within.

It was their kindness and their gratitude,

That helped create and build her confident attitude.

The forever woman saved several women,

She rescued several children from brutality.

She planted a forest of every type of tree,

She was the simply marvellous Miss Eternity.

The forever woman kept giving wealth to charity,

While living simply in a cottage by the sea,

Watching life flow on the waves of eternity.

The Forever Child

He was never going to be eleven

What if there was a child?

Who was just going to be ten?

For all time and eternity.

He was never going to be a day older,

Never going to be an inch taller,

Never going to be a teenager,

Never going to get old and grey.

The forever child was wild and free,

He had played through the ages of history.

He was paddling through the sea of eternity.

He lived through the ages of man and woman,

He was protected and cared for by an old nun.

She was his mentor and his guide,

She adored him through all seasons.

Till one day she passed away.

The convent kept the small child.

They saw him as a gift from the divine,

His spiritual gifts were the clearest sign.

He learned all the wisdom in the books,

He was much older than he looked.

This forever child of ten never aged,

It may sound so wild,

Yet, it is also so fictionally true.

He is centuries older right now,

Older than the oldest men.

He is older than you and the clothes you wear,

He is older than your rocking chair.

The forever child of the age of ten,

Is wiser than the wisest man.

He will put Einstein’s principles,

As well as Newton’s Law’s to shame.

Though he is not really to blame.

It was a blessing and a curse,

At the time and moment of his birth.

A meteor carrying immortal dust,

Crash landed on planet earth.

The infinity dust blew into his cradle,

Gifting him with immortality,

To forever walk the earth as a child of ten.

This was his curse and his destiny,

To be a child for all eternity.

The Forever People

Walk and write their way into Eternity

THERE WILL COME A TIME,

When the forever people,

Touched by the Muse of eternity,

Will walk and write their way,

On the vast universal cosmic sea.

The forever tribe are as free as can be,

They know the true taste of freedom.

They see a world free of tyranny,

They see a world where everyone is free.

They see the positive in every situation,

Their life is a vacation and a celebration.

The writers of this world who write for change,

Know that every time they write a piece,

It goes out into the world of readers,

To change minds and bring about peace.

The forever community of writers who write,

Try to do a lot of what is right.

The forever people create a new world,

A universe where the imagination and creativity,

Are unleashed to become whatever they choose to be.

The forever writer builds a new world every day,

A world rich with inspiration to light a fire,

In the minds and hearts of readers,

The great desire to express ideas like raging fires.

Packed with motivation to fly higher,

The forever people chisel their destinies.

Writing their futures in concrete and
