Somebody threw you
Away. Wow. To stay.

Black cat
Splat!

Fur ball
Hiss! Rrrawll!

Then Buddy Boy sounded
You rebounded.

Now, shifted
Impulse conflicted

(Claws on paws
Teeth unsheathed

Twitchy touch
Playing rough)

Now relaxed
Switched back

Lil’ Draculina loves him
Under chin

Loves me
Kneads me

Right back
Black cat!

Draculina
Oh how I've missed you
For so long I have felt a longing
A desire to hold your body close to mine
I lay my fingers on your vocal chords
And feel as they heat up at my touch
As I caress your long, slender neck.
I touch you in all the right places
And the music fills my ears
It's been a while so I'm rusty
But you let me know that it's fine
You're patient with me.
Slowly I find my footing again
Once again my hands remember
They know their way around you
My heart begins to race
The blood rushes and swirls
As you and I become one
Two souls intertwined beyond time and space
For but a moment I check my enthusiasm And worry about the volume
That the neighbors might hear
But as always you don't care
"Let them hear" you say
"Let the gods hear and be jealous"
And our voices meld to create song
And though our time apart has been long
Still you tempt me with experimentation
New melodies you inspire me to indulge
Undiscovered rhythms beckon to us
An hour passes like seconds
Sweat gathers on my chest and forehead
We reach a climactic ending for this music
I will remember that moment til I die
These are my thoughts, my sweet
As I take a long drag from this cigarette
You beckon me back to that playground
But darling, being the mere mortal I am,
I require rest after going a round with you
Rest assured, alluring goddess that you are,
I will return as my strength returns to me
And once more shall we shake this earth
Only to do it again and again
But for now let me rest Draculina
Take from me what sustenance you must
And enter my dreams, my love
Where always you are welcome.

Once Draculina
Wild child
Paws sin laws

Then bathroom baby with
AM routine set
Man cub stumbles

Puts her water on
Drip it spigot love
Works for her

Baby proves my theorem of
"Love, love, love…”
As we dance our kitty tango

I asked her to relax
She asked me to deliver
The middle is special.

Rrrrrr-rrrrrr-rrrrrr…

Rrrrrr-rrrrrr-rrrrrr…

Ball of scratch and
Survival scruff
That did a ditch dive

Feline finding us

Lil’ Draculina
Eschewing touch
Now seeks and gives love

There she is with her dog
He is old and dying
She is purring hospice

Ensconced tween his paws
Nose that sensed her
Saved her

Friends till the end

Love, love, love
It’s that simple

There is only one ingredient
Do I have to say it?

Love, love, love:
Lil’ Draculina to baby

Ms. Black back from
Outside to in

Fred into
Well, Fred

Buddy boy served it up;
We got “Love, love, love!”

I try to live it:
Goodness not godless

It bears repeating:
Love, love, love.
