Black Cat
Do you hunt the moon with a paw's swipe
As your green eyes embrace the night
Black as the darkness you enthrall
Breaking silence by screeching bawl
Never pet spirit free
Roam the night's city
Seek the shadows of the dark
Fangs embedded razor sharp
Tear the flesh raw
One last whimper falls
Fly from roof to roof to roof
Dance love's tango leave aloof
Fight for space leave your mark
Flee from packs of savage bark
Ascending into the night's air
Landing on soft feet without fear
Hunched up back a snarling hiss
Claws like daggers that don't miss
Hounds think better and return home
Dawn waves back velvet tones
With a yawn and long stretch
Feet to home the cat gets
Safe in warmth of fluffy pillow
Lazy cat so cozy and mellow
Purrs away the coming day
At night is when black cats play
