"Never make eye contact with a stranger when you're having a churro."
Rucy Ban
"Or, if you're squatting on the floor while hiding behind a mirror!" - Me
THE MAG
QUIRKY
LOVE
As cats curl
so do I
round and sleek
purring long into the night.
I 'm equally ready
as I am
standoffish
in my spoiled-rotten
sort of way.
Always daring a fight
within your dog-friendly
easy to please kind of world,
until my naughty way
sent you long into the night.
Come back my dear
forgive my past
unapproachable
tortoiseshell existence
and let me shift clear
of this vast grieving
heartbreaking nonsense.
Scruff your mean distance.
Come back my dear.
I speak to mend
our broken past
don't you want my heart?
Leave your dark brooding landscape
before I shrink and fade into nothing.
We lived our world aslant
curled by love.
Hear me purr
you crazy cute love
of mine.
Don't you want my heart?

i liked your take on this!
The constant purring lends this a seductive tone. Nicely done.
Seductive is right, as well as beautiful language. Nice write. :-)
Love that mirror shot!
Rather moving and quite intriguing at the same time. Well done.
A great one! A wonderfully unique approach...

No, I would not want to make eye contact with anyone while trying to hide behind a mirror, neither.
You know the cat well -- feline and otherwise!
Nice poem, playful words! I first thought she was holding a clock :)
Enjoyed so much Karen :)
I like all the the kitty language. Certainly fits with the aloofness of the image.
