Tiger rendezvous

I'm going to visit the tiger at the zoo.
He's beautiful and dangerous
and I want to take him home.

Caught and brought here,
he speaks tiger and
maybe understands
some human tongue,
but not mine.

Since I can't have him,
I visit him where he is safe from me
and I am safe from him.

My skin is safe
but not my mind,
there he prowls
all night long.
