Exotic Jungle

This is about a man breaking a womans heart and moving on to another.

In the exotic jungle of love
within the candlelight flowers
and the forest of the rain;
you were the hunter...
A hunter of the female species
preying upon the vulnerable;
You tracked with the final
destination of capture
in the cage of your ego;
Pounching into our hearts
 like a cheetah when we least expected it.

We were not just jungle wildflowers
under the canopy of stars,
but you were the devils apple
after we tasted your love
we became delirious
in love with you...
We were not strangler vines
but sweet orchids upon a vine
inviting you into our hearts.

What were you afraid of?
You disappeared like a water lily
 upon the River Amazon...
You were afraid of being captured
by the permanent scent of monogamy.
