Petting a wild tiger, or petting your foolish desire?

I chained my heart, put it behind the fence long ago. Now you are looking at me with the perfect symmetry. Your eyes are not shining anymore; they are as dull-and-soft as mine. Concentrate on my eyes for a short escape to wild, and for the smallest and freshest glimpse of wilderness. What you seek in my eyes, what you hope to find in my heart, you shall not find it there. It does not exist anymore. No hopes, no youth, no excitement at all. Anger has been faded; eager the same way. Petting a wild tiger, or petting your foolish desire?

  Again, technical quality isn't that good. However I was relly luck that the tiger looked directly into my eyes. I was also able to capture an almost perfect symmetry between the eyes of tiger and the corners of the square.
