Quirky- The Mag

"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?








"Gee whiz, can't a guy just go out for coffee?"

The constant purring lends this a seductive tone. Nicely done.

Seductive is right, as well as beautiful language. Nice write. :-)

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!

I like all the the kitty language. Certainly fits with the aloofness of the image.
