Cooper

you're beautiful,
not just because you have a smile that could end wars, but because the thoughts that run through your mind
the way you look at the world
the way you speak
the way you act
you're beautiful because you think the rain is fun
you get excited to see the stars
you love to feel the warmth of the sun more than anything
you're different
and that makes you so beautiful

Cat Naps

In your sleep
your quivers quake
ears nose
whiskers shake.

breaths to the beat of a
dream
soundly slumber

stretched like gum
legs sprawled under

running
twitching
furs all a flutter

falls off the bed....

"crazy cat", I mutter.

Built on Sticks and Stones

I may have crushed all the delicate
Crap
of my soul

that "ever yearning for you"
that washes up on window panes

the constant deflation,
cowering
chained-up-into-deep-corners-of-destruction-and-self loathing pain.

I plummet face first into the ground.
scuffed skin splintered with stone, a few broken bones,

and a nervous chuckle
are the first breaths of liberation.

We can take ownership of our own well being. Live, cope, and you'll survive.

Cats

There's a direct link
between your time spent writing
and your love for cats.

If it sounds like love

You're that tiny bright bird
the only one
riding thunderstorms.
I search
from inside of my shell
far into the distance,
and a speck of tumbling ferocity
growing more wild and close.
I open up my window,
and maybe,
you'll rest here,
in my palms.

You'll always be present and like a pleasant flutter, a positive energy through the soul. I'm not sure if you've ever known the impact. :)

              it was sweet
like maple syrup on meat

Hm, not sure if the structure ruins its simplicity.
