Some Love For Food
Times are old and frail,
Since my eyes blessed upon,
Your feline strutting under
A night sky, ahead of sun rise
How my fingers devoured,
Your darling strands of silk
As your crystal black orbs
Gazed into mine
Fed you lots, I did
What delight could surpass,
than seeing you grow,
How sweet, how plump,
How inexplicably tempting
But my eyes still twinkle,
At hours of memories’ reel

As you would run unto me,
So, you may curl up
Into your finest dreams,
Oblivious

From a little devil of some sort-
Perhaps you saw your chance-
For your teeth to sink into
My thumb that caressed you
And so, I left you to long,
It wasn’t long before you strung,
The harps of your voice, my way
A pity I couldn’t sense then,
I could ease you from
Your deepest threats right then
Now you’re gone,
Escaped into the night,
From my desperate hold,
Void of a reason
Or a sign
It pains for I know not,
Where you have now wound up,
Yet what could pain more when
After all the grooming, you may
Have fetched up-
Stir-fried- against
The plates of hungry men

To be one of…
