"The Right Eye Removed" intuition guides a feline mind to feel vain glorious in the poetry of dreams stretching limits of awareness velvet pawed a burnt orange bittersweet marmalade coat delicious to kiss the point between the ears that listen for signs mink stole he wears himself striped around my neck finding new ways to purr through his dark night into the mystery of his opaque opalus opallios world his left analytical glistening topaz prehistoric amber shines like glass black iris blooming in a pool of honey questioning ideas that run through his greyhound strides the right eye removed bone white phantom oculus poached out by a thief with a pad, pen and surgically precise knife drugged on strong catnip the discarded damaged marble thrown in a bin overnight he works his way around this bad romance feels the colours of light he is sensually sincere licking necks and ears and the other's eyes twin forest jade stones the foreign ponds of something new holding tight this kamikaze pilot flying across high rise cupboards treasure boxes to plunder tricky to navigate he is immersed in a new life the changing colours of a small heart with big dreams romancing streams of rainbow koi seen in his mind he is a Japanese ninja warrior a good luck token protector of Moonlight and ground zero the bed…that he has claimed, all his and he is loved perfection in the damage of the war zone delivered to him at birth he is free to wonder and he wanders this brave and distinguished hunter preying with delight he bows on all fours he stops still and in the reflection that is left I look at him and I see we are two of one mind searching for the same all along am I her’s, or is she mine am I his or is he mine it no longer matters old souls we belong in this time (LadyLabyrinth / 2021) Opallios. Greek. “to see a change in colour” Opalus. Latin. “precious jewel”

on another note....if he survives the month without Moonie ripping his good eye out, it will be a calming on the household...Moonie, does not like being pushed off her pedestal ... nor acquiescing to a bolshie 8.5month pirate. The heart on her sleeve, may be pure camouflage.

He just needed a lot of love and a nice warm home, not a cold pen shunted away in the RSPCA. I had a lot of love to give, so I gave it. Recently, I have been reading back over some of my earlier poems; it is interesting to me, that the one I called Light Angel pops into my poems' comment boxes every once and a while, as if to remind me what "IT's" all about. He graced me with some of his beautiful conversations. I smiled when I read the comment he left in Kool for Katz Kissed, this was more than likely at a time when he was in hospital. It makes me happy to think that perhaps some of my ridiculous poetry made a beautiful soul smile when they were going through a very challenging time. Now that man's soul shone very brightly. The conversation we had in my poem "Home is Where the Heart Is", expresses his level of Light. Poetry can be a very beautiful conduit to many. xx

Delightful, heartfelt. Enjoyed your poetry very much. Of course, being owned by two cats myself, I am predisposed to cat poetry. Marvelous creatures. Truth be told, Pavlov and his dog were both conditioned first by Pavlov's cat.

Don't give me Pavlov... one of the subjects we covered in psych...I'd believe being conditioned by a cat...lol. I've never truly been predisposed to cat poetry, I thought why not - I've covered just about everything else. :) Fond regards, Eleanor Abernathy on covert assignment.

Ijust showed Justin the cat you have and he said right away- that cat is prettier than Bob. lol.. And I replIed- looks to be well groomed and cleaner too. Of course our Bob lives outside in the woods when he is not sleeping on our front porch. So he is roughing it a bit. And stubborn..

He sounds like a real survivor. One needs to give him space, but show him love and affection.

Wow, I just a few minutes ago fed our adopted wild cat- Justin named him- Bob. And he has one eye! Now I find this gem -this wonderful poem you have created my friend. We adopted this cat 5 years ago- now he even comes into the house sometimes- checks it out and then goes bacl out on the front porch. A fav..

gives one a whole new perspective on life...brave souls. Rupert (8mths) was born with a congential defect at birth and there was no saving the right eye, the operation was quite recently performed. I wasn't looking for another cat, but was looking for a friend and came across Rupert, was told he would be hard to adopt...no one wants a cat with one eye. I said, that was bulltwang...he's been here for a week. Working in well with the other cat (female 8yrs), after much disgruntlement - I was worried she'd claw his good remaining eye out. I have fallen in love with a cat...go figure. Eleanor Abernathy.

"'Cause you're beautiful (like no other) 'Cause you're beautiful (maybe tonight, they'll see you tonight) Beautiful Beautiful And it's no good waiting by the window It's no good waiting for the sun Please believe me, the things you dream of They don't fall in the laps of no one And it's no good Waiting, waiting And it's no good Waiting..." ahhhh, might have to go and have a bit of a dance now...;) The mirror calls.

Hello Lady labyrinith, a one eye cat is loveable just like a ct that has two eyes. I would take in a one eye cat or one legged cat and give the love she craves. Enjoy your day my friend.
