cat – C & K

Spring Awakening

Within the darkness
you are enveloped inside
sticky Spring-drenched sheets
a fluffy weight on your chest
swiped by the paw of a bear

within the moonlight
to laugh at her quirkiness
a fluff in the dark

No heat on at night
the cold crisp covers caress you.

Positioned for sleep
the cat positions herself near your leg.

Waking at three am
the pain of a numb leg and the great urge.

Wobbling in the dark
almost falling into the toilet darkness.

Coming back to bed
The mischief begins

in the land of boys
I was a wild mountain cat
a taste for rabbits

the loch was my tap
thick forest became a bed
then her sea call came

o’er the green mountains
small to some, yet large to me
carried by her call

her call a music
my Selkie longs for a kiss
returning to man

Fishy, Fishy, Paw
Darting away from the cat
Laughter from the tank

Touching the coffee table
Vacuuming the floor
Walking to the laundry
Sitting on the lounge

The memories of you
a mist within the house
The thoughts of you
a ghost kept by my side

The absence of your paws
a sadness in the shape of tears
Sleeping between us in bed
a dream of you here and there

Touching a photograph of you
wishing Emma all our love
The ghost of you, please linger
until we both find you again

playful eyes
pink blushy cheeks

frolicking around you
fluttering those big eyes

Is she a kitten or a cat?

Perhaps she is both.

fierce and kind
fiery and kinky

pretty beautiful one
flowing through my life

Button nosed bunny,
demurely sitting and waiting
until a human spots the cute one.

Once bewitched,
coloured eyes dance playfully
to ensnare prey in her fluffy web.

Opportunistic
A brief glance at my owner
Hiding in nature

a naughty paw plays
with the bright blooming roses
mischief in her ways
