Musings by The Poet Loriet

Grrrrrr...Hold That Tiger!

Our synchronized hearts
beat in time
as we tame the tiger!
Sweaty tangle of limbs
fighting for air
as all goes black
and then bursts
into
thousands of dazzling stars
kaleidoscoping tye-dye
and we collapse exhausted
at the fall
and unpredictable
disappearance
of the beast,
clueless
as to when
it will ravenously
go on the prowl
again.
