Ode to a Cat
You never ask for the spotlight,
yet the second you walk in, the room belongs to you.
You wear your quiet like a favorite sweater,
reminding me that silence can be incredibly comforting.
You only come for a cuddle when it’s your idea—
and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way.
?That slow, sleepy blink says everything we need to say,
and your rumbling purr patches up the rough edges of my day.
You brush off an argument with a long, dramatic stretch,
tell me exactly how you feel with a flick of your tail,
and look at the morning as if we conquered the night together.
?You ask for so little—just a warm lap, a sunny spot, and trust.
Sitting here with you, I’ve finally figured out
that love doesn't need to shout to be real.
For all your mysterious ways, my friend,
you didn't just move into my house;
you quietly made yourself right at home in my heart.

When that incredible moment comes
fate has already changed its harsh rule,
fate is being kind for unknown reasons;
we find this event exciting and cool.
Don't be surprised the perfect moment comes,
and take us to a dreamy state at nightide;
we feel the heartbeat, we feel the passion inside;
it raises the blood flow to a level of madness.
When that incredible moment comes
is unknown, let's hold your breath and wait;
out of nowhere, a sensation will exicte us ;
it will change all, even mood and insight!
To total strangers, this is an unexpected vibe,
doesn't it feel great? Don't we feel alive?
There's an urge to touch, a desire to kiss,
let this sudden craving be a rush of eargness.
We spent nights staring at a sky full of stars,
wishing for a voice to break the dull silence;
we would be thrilled to hear it as if it were a symphony:
wouldn't we surprised that it happened unexpectedly?
When that perfect moment happens
catch it immediately, or it will vanish;
go back to planning, connect the dots,
each lovely glance is a thrill to cherish.
When the perfect moment comes
is because fate has changed its harsh rule,
fate is being kind for unknown reasons;
we find this event exciting and cool.
Don't be surprised when the perfect moment comes,
and take us to a dreamy state at nightide;
we'll feel the heartbeat, we'll feel the passion inside;

is unknown to us, hold your breath and wait;
out of nowhere, that lightning appears;
it will change all, even mood and insight.

He discovered no prime that was divisible.
Yet, he found a way to become invisible.
So, he embarked on a crime and murder spree.
But he forgot just one thing, as you shall see.
The national guard caught up with him at last
because of the tell-tale shadow that he cast.
Ladies worth are in the kitchen,
But this generation, Gen Z sold them out to men.
What's the logic?
Human can't live without food,
Yet ladies worth are now in men custody,
Because men in charge of the kitchen
You may ask, why am I so proud?
It's because that's what I worked hard for.
I'm proud of my craft, my worth, my art.
What I do is none of your business,
I'm just reaping what I've sown.
Seeing me write poems, create content,
Do spoken words, it's all my cooking, I don't beg you to eat.
Don't question my pride, it's earned.
I'm a product of my dedication.
Black drop on the page,
Spreads in a knowing pattern,
No conscious command.
A sudden, sure depiction,
Truth blooming without a thought.

Nothing has changed... but all is unlike from what it was seconds ago...
Mind over matter
Every obstacle shattered
Enemies scatter
His was an incredible discovery; a phenomenal breakthrough.
To cure cancer completely is inconceivable, a naysayer said.
It would bring unimaginable joy to many, said his mother.
This scientist knew he could always count on her to say the right thing.
Weeks of rigorous preparation are now complete
As the journey up the mountain begins I can not accept defeat
My goal is to obtain the worlds most ultimate view
I know I must go beyond physical and mental endurance to follow through
I start to feel breathless reaching for the sky
The higher I go, struggling through the bitter cold and deep snow I try not to cry
A flock of birds glides right by me in perfect flight
The sunshine is so brilliant such a perfect site
My dream of reaching the peak is about to come true
As the clouds break apart the top is in plain view
I finally arrive fighting incredible fatigue and nauseating pain
A sense of great accomplishment for conquering the terrain
Fragile flakes feed my spirit,
Promising the gift of gentle, soothing
As a setting sun, sigh of dew, echo of rain falling,
Intimate whispers, almost a caress – kissing
Away the past, the darkness – this is blessed
By the wonder of a world painted gentle – I N C R E D I B L E
what would have happened
If I never had met Paul
life was a lost cause
Paul beyond belief
does whatever he will want
is incredible
had known from the start
if i knew what i knew now
miracles could do
so glad is my friend
God has always been his guide
knows which way to go
There once was a little girly
Who thought she was the best
She was confident so early
She knew she is different from the rest
But one day she saw someone
Who was like no one
He was always ahead
And that girly was afraid
She lost all of herself
She thought she is worthless
She screamed "I hate Myself!"
She saw herself in darkness
But one day she noticed light
She ran to see what it is
It was to erase her plight
As it was a mirror telling her how incredible she is.
Food for Thought...
You want puns?
How about on buns?
Written word fun
From the fruits of the Earth's sun
Thought about cruisin' on my bike to grab some grub, but it was two-tired.
Decided to ask the cow out to the Stampede, but he was grounded.
Caught some fish that was wailing from some a-salt and batterin'.
Went to the vineyard & stepped on a grape, but it was too winey.
The sunset blazed on as the lettuce showed tall in the field, a head above the rest.
Clouds settling in for the night realized there's no contest for a fowl-weathered friend that the ghost of the poultry-geist leaves behind, egg-credibly the best...
Boiled eggs are hard to beat.
And, hey... ya know? A girl's gotta eat!
