Looking for love assures it will never be found,
for love can not be captured and bound.
The harder you seek like a hound,
the more you keep love from sticking around.

Serve and Protect
My canine counterparts
serve and protect;
such a noble cause
but they lack something, I detect.
A true feline knows
all about serve and protect;
it’s what we demand
from all people, last I checked.

Splinter
Just below the skin
sits the tiny splinter
I never welcomed in.
The initial pain
so quick to sting
washes away like rain.
The longer it festers
the deeper it sinks
and the more it pesters.
The once quick blow
now a serious wound
has burrowed to the soul.

#tbt
I am brighter than the sun
but darker than the moon
as it’s last sliver
disappears from sight.
I am the light in the darkness
and the dark within the light
choose wisely to determine
which side of me you will see.

Home
My home is held together
with fur balls and feathers.
The four walls stay standing
with the force of laughter
and the pipes run freely
with the salty tears.
The lights run on coffee
and our one natural
source of heat
is love.

Black Cat
Why is it that
people think I am unlucky?
The superstitions
are getting a little old.
Black cats are beautiful
black cats are bold.
Setting the record straight,
we aren’t responsible
for these misfortunes
that you hold.
You are your own
cause of bad luck
so leave us alone.

A Score and Ten
A score and ten
is how long it’s been
since your eyes opened
yet still they’re closed.
I wish you not happiness
nor ill will but rather
the cure to finding
a soul that was lost
somewhere along the way
in the last score and ten.

High Stakes
The dealer always wins
so place your bets with care.
A game of such high stakes
leaves such tension in the air.
Two hearts are on the line;
you place your bet on just a pair.
May lady luck be in your fortune
and hope the dealer plays fair.

Smile
I fell in love with your smile
yet sadly I can never be the cause.
Into unrequited love I fell
madly, which has its flaws.
While the heart works in
mysterious and unpredictable ways
it causes far more pain
as your head is in a daze.
So while your smile once was
the cause of hope and joy
it now serves as a reminder
that my heart is just your toy.

Procrastination
I planned on sharing something else with you all today, but I didn’t do my homework. Now, you get a nice procrastination poem instead. Enjoy!
Those wide eyes burn
right through my soul.
Do they ask for love
needed to fill a hole?
How can I help?
What do you need?
Your quiet meows
state the case you plead.
You can share with me
anything in your head.
Oh, what’s that?
You threw up in my bed?
