Tiger Poems

Keeping magic wands of happiness in hands
Why are we pleading for happiness outside?
We are the masters of our own happiness
And if mastered, will master the world in ease.

Bereft of courage there lived a poor soldier
Like a dear tiger living in...Read More

The darkness like India ink, envelopes the light.
The great dark space of night awaits in stillness,
for its call to illumination that becomes morning.
The black veil pulls at the edges of the heavens,
eager to explode onto the scene as the new...Read More

Those Impalas runs as shuttles car
Racing the mustangs through forest trees
Viroom, veroom, racing engines dust
Slowly vw beetles flutters fly far

Dart doubting datsons honey bees
Cobra shelby's viper dodge not trust
Racing metal objects within the breeze

Thunderbird hardly runs close flees, 
Sunbeam tiger...Read More

  Be,
The ocean inside me,
be my homemade beast ...
that I will be your domestic
tiger...
Dance for me as if
it was Babylon ...
that I will donate you all
sprouting melodies of my body,
and all the luminescence of my soul ...
Then you will...Read More

Barney Rubble was the ultimate okay friend.
His love for the grumpy Fred Flintstone would never end.
His wife Betty was a tittering fool that adored Fred’s wife
They had a relatively hysterical cartoon life

When I was a child Bam Bam was the...Read More

     GREAT SHOCK

Do you remember the first heartbeat,
can you feel the fire echo
upon the wings of your violet velvet intellect
as zero zimmers into the sums of your senses,
a spectrum of semi precious salts
hums to the success of your dramatics
while Destiny demands your...Read More

A WISH FOR ALL FISH

Washed up on shores around the world
Already dead, a whale, a dolphin a shark, 
All marine life is suffering, the situation
Has become absurd, 
The facts real and stark!
My Fairy God mother in my poem
Yes about a...Read More

In the darkness thrives 
Our inner most lives
But chances robs flies
Like winged tigerskarks

In the light swings chandeliers
Clinging dragons Shangri-La
Story pictures of passion fears
Purpose-driven  ceiling fans Mardi Gras

Darkness. dies
Light cries
No more passion rights
Dragon fly tiger shark drones
Universe shutdown 
Good night

I wandered over hills and dales the wind against my back
salmon running in the streams but I never learnt the knack
among the fields of buzzing bees and butterflies a flutter
distant sounds of thunder now sending wild birds to scatter

I wandered...Read More

Joshua, Joshua, my tiger cat
 oh why, oh why, 
 are you now so fat?? 
 You can't go out like you did before,
 now food has become your connoisseur...
 I truly don't mean to offend,
 but you can't groom...Read More

~
Her love took me to a place,
the likes of which I have never seen
I was lost in the wonder that greeted me
along a pathway of stained glass tiger lilies
and hummingbirds singing in harmony

Where the beauty of the sunrise
was painted in...Read More

You walked in woods with gun.
Oh! must be a great fun; yes it
was, but tiger came; quit
no, I couldn't; I freeze; It stared at
me. You should've fired; that
is right; but I couldn't; gat fell down
It acted fast, no frown.
As it...Read More

Tring Tring: Is that you?

Yes, my love how do you do?

Hey! I bought a new pair of shoes,
This time my shoe size is two!

Oh dear, you look so cute,
In your little boots!
My cutie son in dungaree navy blue!


A sheath dress,...Read More

Aunt Rita



My darling aunt words can not express
how much I loved you, the sun is gone
the moon no longer lits my world.
All life has paled without you in it.

I remember a fiesty lady full of life
who poo poo'd things beyond...Read More

A captive of your ontology,
a tiger in a cage

Doomed to look with borrowed eyes,
your life played out on stage

You pace the floor incessant,
as anger builds within

And hear the distance calling,
feeling trapped, an alien

Will that trumpet ever reach you,
by whose Archangel...Read More

soft dough eye eucalyptus eater
 a vegan that sleeps through the days 
 without the energy of meat from a deaden cousin

Oh how I Love

His pizzazz and his charm,
he will never do me harm,
he is full of life,
he is such a delight, 
with his hope and his dreams, 
he's not always as he seems.

Oh how I love

His eyes that glimmer,
causing my...Read More

White Tiger

Giant beast, 
un-caged power of destruction, 
taking apart my life one day at a time. 
Ever-growing and living off, 
the suffering of my apparent lack, 
of everything. 

Your secret has been revealed. 
It is no longer possible, 
for you...Read More

she rode a tiger's back
through a canopy of briars
beyond the speed of light
silent claws slashing night
the tiger tired of the game
and shook her to the side
panting over her bloodied life
it chuckled like all tigers do
just before severing all ties..
though starving...Read More

The Mouse

I am small and I do not matter. 
Only to those that care, 
if I live and breathe, 
but that is okay...
as they are all that matter too. 

The people in our lives, 
that come and go, 
some never...Read More

Beware the morning tiger
Before his first coffee
  Look out for the afternoon lizard:
  Ectotherm on the sidewalk soaking in other people’s acknowledgement
    On occasion I’m a hummingbird
    Seeking life’s nectar while shying...Read More

Children 
Casually 
Consuming 
Cotton candy
Face to face with 
A deadly animal
Only 4” of glass wall
Preventing them from being
Prey

We got married
Thinking it would solve 
The problem of loneliness
Only to discover a glass wall
At the tiger exhibit
And we are face to face
With...Read More

"Dream 1: 4 Weeks in Positano"



Kisses long linger warm lips tasted intense
so sweet like cured Valencia Oranges
lips liquored triple sec not dry drunk on love
softly grazed, then held long

slow, deep, warm and wet

The story is written on bodies
as they walk...Read More
