Two for Tiger

then he said Behold

and i look, see
the glance
of light bend
in new eyes.

his smile reflects
mine, expands;

edges rush,
wall me in
protective warmth

and bright
beaming.


as arms widen over the water; Love

reaches me,
widens the small
hole of old
love's hurting.

though distance
gnaws edges,
sets familiar
aching,

i draw deep from
the well of
contentment.

a blue
soothe.

your beckon,
Love, fills

my whole.
