Time spent with cats is never wasted.  ~May Sarton

Like a bird ...

Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.

A Large White Cat

Love is like a large white cat
Sitting on its paws.
You may pet it all you like;
It lives by its own laws.

The yellow rain falls,
Illuminating

Street Lights

The stars are the street lights of eternity.

Abstract

No nude, however abstract, should fail to arouse in the spectator some vestige of erotic feeling, even if it be only the faintest shadow - and if it does not do so it is bad art and false morals.

Kenneth Clark

Softness

Your words

Your touch Your eyes

Your kisses

The softness that is felt

From you

Is  the reason

I love you..

Longing for the grass so fresh and so green

Longing for the sky so cloudless and serene.

It's about who came, and never left your side...

Eclipse

Black pupils dilating
Green rays radiating
Streaks across
Deep blue skies
Such explains your eyes
The windows of your soul
Where no man has dared to go
And wherein a solar system lies
Strange and undiscovered
And many starry secrets
Remain to be uncovered
Within your eyes.

 by Judy C Meeker

Sharp Edges

...
No, do not talk; but let us rather seize
This intimate gift of silence which we know.
Others may guess your thoughts from what you say,
As storms are guessed from clouds where darkness broods.

Time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way

Sleeping

Sleeping with your Dog

Now I lay me down to sleep,
The king-size bed is soft and deep.
I sleep right in the center groove
My human beings can hardly move!
