One little whisker
two little whiskers
make a wish
One cat fast asleep on the sofa
One cat looking out the window
Cat dreams of tasty friends
Oh Sammy sweet that hummingbird you shall not eat
Run fast little kitties run and dance for joy in the sunshine
Hide under the bushes
Walk on the mailboxes
The neighborhood is your playground
Badass alleycats you are
Respected you shall be
Royalty you are
John James Mar 2020
I remember the first night that we met
I was a little less than a piece of trash on the boulevard
And you, you shined so bright in the sky
High above everything else like a street light
No further, comparable to the brightest of stars
From another's point of view we were not so different and yet
How can one compare a rock to a diamond?
You with all your fancy friends and lavish nights out
Me running rampant with nothing but alleycats of men, literal raccoons of society
When I look at you, and I can never look at anything else
Time moves at but the slowest of paces, enveloping my everything
Every breath I take feels as if it's my last
And every pulsation of my heart vibrates through each and every crevice of my soul
All I can of is Her.
