El Gato Sonador - a Cats Dream
In a quiet night of deep sleep
The blankets harbor me – the night to unfold
A myriad of dreams my unspoken secrets keep
As cinematic stories attempting to be told
The curtains open while orchestral music sweeps
Awakening chaotic shapes from my subconscious mode
Faintly rising as poltergeist’s breath that creeps
Through blasting winds from raging storms so bold
My heart pounds like thudding wolf’s feet
I sneak into dense groves of trees lined with gold
Where upon the ground white bones sleep
As I fall to disappear like mist into the fold
Overhead, ferocious menacing sky breaks
With bolts of green jagged crystals - Behold!
Crashing through a cat’s eye as gargantuan streaks
That quake and pound the ground, then explode
A distant caterwauling yowls in throats that shriek
Mauling the earth with penetrating claws exposed
As ashen fang gleams as it thrusts to pierce and seek
The taking of blood slashing, so fiercely, so bold
I feel the weight upon my chest and cheek
The vibrations of fear are purring. then implode
As my breath quickens….. I awaken to peek
And there he sits – waking from his sleep
My big black cat looking utterly freaked!
