Poems
Nov 2015
Cats at the Edge, Part I
She had the cat-like grace
Of an infatuation betrayed,
Love, but never forgotten.
She’d sneer promises today,
As she’d perfected prior,
With that same curl of the lip,
The smirk born Juarez,
Cacti and Rio, whilst
I’d only show my tummy;
Something tougher and
Catalyzed within a scar,
This chasm stained the,
“We” atop yesteryear
And the “me” I’d be
Tomorrow –
One more hour,
Wanting, wasted, waylaid,
And never to let go.
The first love’s an archetype,
This first kiss, an epitaph,
Did you ever let me go?
They say you never forget the first.
