It’s not easy being furry
when the weather
just won’t change,
the heat won’t go away
and still my winter fur grows,
it’s strange.
Mother nature doesn’t know
what it’s like to be a cat
with a coat you can’t remove
when the temperature is hot.
Then the next day it’s so cold
and my coat is not enough.
Pass me a blanket,
this weather thing is tough.
Another late night,
piled on to the last forty-two
since sleep is futile
when I haven’t got you.
And these sleepless nights
are followed by endless days
which all run together
in this lovesick haze.
If you came back to me today,
the pain would still be there,
since your absence is better
than you total lack of care.
More often than not,
I think of you,
no matter where I am
or what I do.
The more time that passes,
the deeper I fall
into a love so strong,
I feel your heart call.
Nothing will come between
the simple look we share
nor can anything beat
this perfectly made pair.
I only miss you
when the sun begins to set
and all the colors mix,
a painter’s mess
across the sky.
A lover’s mess
in my heart.
Petals wilt away
as love blossoms anyway.
Beauty and the Beast.
The monster under your bed
is really in your mirror;
if you look deep inside,
you’ll see all you fear.
That sound in your head
is your own voice calling out,
screaming out in terror
while you live in agony of doubt.
I fell in love
on a lovely summer day
as the salty air blew
the hair from your face.
I fell in love
on a brisk autumn day
as the leaves crunched
underfoot, on our way.
I fell in love
on a chilly winter day
as the fire crackled
by the couch on which we lay.
I fell in love
on a fine spring day
as the flowers bloomed
and you walked away.
Fish, you know I want your fin
Your fin was pawmade for somebody like me
Come on now, you be my treat
I am not crazy, just feed me
Say, fish, let’s not talk too much
Grab you with my paw and put that fish in me
Come on now, just feed me
Come, come on now, just feed me
I’m in love with the shape of you.
–
I found a fish, for me
Yummy just dive right out
And into my tummy
Well I found a fish, beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the flavor waiting for me.
–
Give a little fish to me, or just leave now
We’ll play hide and seek to turn this around
And all I want is the taste that this fish allows.
My my, my my, oh give me fish
My my, my my, oh give me fish.
–
It’s late in the evening
fish on the side
I’ve been sat with you
For most of the night
Ignoring everybody here
I wish you would disappear
So maybe I could make trouble now
–
I met you at the shelter then jumped into your car
I shared some love with you while I gave your mother a scar.
She asked me what’s my favorite color, so I responded with charm.
Said it was green, now is my new home very far?
I took my claws out and a bite just for fun,
what do you mean I can’t be on the table and run?
Scratched some more then one more fish for the car,
banned your jukebox, and got up to sleep.
The walls that you build
to keep others out
can only stand so long
before casting their doubt.
And when the time comes
for these walls to topple down,
be sure that you stand clear
so in the rubble you won’t drown.
But will you know for sure
which side the ruins will fall?
Will you be trapped forever
in a world you made so small?
Life in the fast lane
is better than they say
since the scenery changes
every single day.
The more places you can see
and the more people you meet,
will fill your life forever
with possibility.
The moment you slow down,
you can just dig your grave
since a dormant life
will keep you as a slave.
