Maus

Every noise is you,
every squeaky wheel,
every bump in the night,
every nightmare come real.

Every missing thing,
is back in your lair
and every evil doing,
you accomplish with care.

Every moment,
I lie in wait
as sleep will elude
like you do your bait.

Every breath that I take,
every view that I see,
every minute that passes,
I know you are waiting for me.

Walk By

Every morning,
you walk by
and I don’t even
know your name
but your smile
is all it takes
to brighten up
my day.

Every afternoon,
as if by fate,
I see you pass by
maybe getting lunch
or taking a break
from whatever it is
you do that I
still do not know.

Every evening,
I wait just to see
if you’ll pass by again
but usually I miss
seeing you again
and so I wait
until the next morning
you will walk by again.

Canned

I demand many things of you,
but there is a demand above the rest.
When it’s time to eat,
I want only the best.

So how can it be
that you’re telling me
we are out of can
when that wasn’t the plan?

Mealtime is sacred
and you’ve ruined that for me.
Can’t you see that I’m starving
and you offer me tea?

I don’t want that dry food,
I’m just not in the mood.
When gravy is calling,
you best not be stalling.

So hurry it up
and get what I need
since mistakes like this
might make you bleed.

so drained
by a world
so pained
humans
so shamed
hopelessly
blamed
witches
named
once
so famed
souls
so stained
feeble interest
feigned
sorrow
reigned
the world
maimed

Happiness was never for me
as it seemed to be for you.
But I guess sometimes
we make believe what isn’t true.

I knew that smile on your face
was more a symbol,
a way to hide your disgrace.

Still, the world only saw
what they needed to see.
They missed that happiness
eluded you as well as me.

BB

Why is the world your enemy
when we all know the truth?
The only one you’re fighting
is simply a form of you.

You think the world’s against you
and so your fight with all your strength
but what lines will you cross
and to what distant lengths?

Maybe soon you’ll realize
that the enemy is you
then what you’re fighting for
will come apart at the glue.

Dream Girl

I knew the moment I saw you
that you were the one for me
and then a moment later
I woke abruptly from my dream.

It’s you who holds my heart,
a mystery you may be
but in my waking dreams
you are the one for me.

Our beings have never met,
but our souls are best of friends
and no matter what life brings,
fate brings us together in the end.

I may not know you yet,
but yet I’ve known for just so long
that you’re the one for me,
there’s just no way I’m wrong.

Mice and Z’s

I must have overslept
or perhaps stayed up all night.
Either way I have forgotten
what I meant to write.

I could tell you lies
or I could just go back to sleep
and let the words stay
in my own head to keep.

I must have lost track
of all time and day
but such trivial things
just get in a cat’s way.

So back to sleep I head
and dreaming I will do
since mice and z’s don’t catch themselves,
a fact cats know is true.
