Eye of the Tiger

Those eyes – piercing amber -
 So like mine
  Smoldering with uncaged curiosity 

I drown in the golden pools
 As I stalk across the floor
  Captured in a tractor beam of curiosity’s wonder.

Who is this little one
  Who stands so bold outside
   The boundaries of my cage yet lives in me?

This little one who stands unflinching
 As I approach
  On padded powerful paws of rolling withers

How I long to gaze
 Into her eyes
  And tell my savannah stories – homeland odyssey

How I long to hear
  Her small voice tell her biography –
   The jungle chronicles and fables of her life

How could you have
 Sun smoldering eyes like mine?
  Child and tiger never conceive the same families.

Little one don’t leave me!
  Don’t depart without sharing
   The feral eye of the tiger!

Little one, your memory possesses me
 Through the amber of our eyes
  My emerging fantasies, epic midnight saga sequels.

My eyes are an amber color like that of a tiger.  When visiting a zoo at ten years old, I stopped by the Bengal tiger display because I love cats of all sizes.  A huge, male tiger lumbered over and looked me directly in the eye as if to say: “Where did you get my eye color and why are you out there instead of being in here with me, cuz!”
