For the Love of Cats

…is a cat not the totem of love

your physical contact generates feelings
were the neurons release 
the feeling for good vibes
peace, harmony 

by stroking soft gentle fur 
strong n deep is the purr

serenity brings your heart
to idle
cools your feelings 

you relax

you love your cat 
the best as you can
but like beautiful rose thorns 
can cut like razors
so can the claws of a cat...

love can turn, hurt, bite, flee...

cutting deep!

And just like that your cat is gone
Running 
           to somewhere 
                         or someplace 
                                      to someone else…

And only the echoes of little pads are left!
