Through a Cat’s Eyes

It matters not to me

the color of your skin

since we all know with a cat,

there is only one way to win.

You can be a man, for all I care,

who loves another man

as long as your ideas

go along with my plan.

You can pray to God

or do whatever is hip

as long as you know

I am the one to worship.

For being of the mindset

that it’s all about me,

I think I’m pretty accepting

so it’s time that humans be.

Loop

The relentless pursuit

burns my lungs

and makes me weak

as my legs struggle

to find even a little

solid ground.

I finally see the clearing

just up ahead as I slow

waiting to finally have

what was never mine

and I realize now,

I am right back

where I started.

The blood-orange moon

rises high in the sky behind me

as I glance in the rearview mirror

at an image the defines me.

My past cannot be undone

as it is always right behind me

and no matter how hard I run

the shadows still can find me.

An ominous melody begins to fill

 the air that surrounds and binds me

as the moon watches down closely

always threatening to reveal me.

Thinking of You

I was thinking about you

just the other day;

all the years have gone by

I still don’t know what to say.

Your laugh was infectious

and your smile beyond compare,

but these compliments are so generic

they really are not fair.

There are no words to describe

how the loss of you made me feel

because to this day I can’t believe

that what happened is even real.
