Love Clouds by: Frederica Ehimen

The darkness is cool and wet
The sunlight is just beyond the horizon
White oceans beyond I see
There is this love between you and me
We could not exist if we
Were not... Could not continue to be
The You and Me we are destined
To be, so we wait in the stillness
Of the Sun waiting for the still light to creep back in
The darkness fades, and we will rise to find
Our love survived
I wrote this poem because I like to write poems that tell a story about something, love is something we all get to experience at one point in our lives.

O KINDLY QUEEN OF THE SILENCE

He was ten
and I was sixty.

He an all black
cat with one white spot

living all his nine lives
at once.

I( ha ha )
supposedly his master.

In truth, he
the master of me.

He, asleep now
upon my left knee..

Always the left
never the right.

Always a knee
never a lap.

His purrs
turning into snores.

Rather than disturb
such sweet slumber.

I stay still
even when the leg: cramps!

He wakes, yawns(
as) only cats can.

Paws pad pad pad
across black&white kitchen tiles.

His night just
beginning.

Mine just ending.

The cat flap
*****.

This cat was silence itself...even if it was a quiet night the cat would deepen the silence. We were adopted by this cat just like that and the cat was given the  name Fred only then Fred had kittens so became Frederica. So he became a she.

But because it didn't sit right on the former Fred we called her...O KINDLY QUEEN OF THE SILENCE which far more suited her essential character.

— The End —
