Here Kitty Kitty

not my usual sweet little love scribble....

 

 

________________

 

Gracefully he moves with the stealth of a cat

slipping unnoticed through the shadowy night

The cold chill of sweat runs down his neck

glistening under the street lamps light

 

His palms are moist with anticipation

as he waits for his innocent prey

His senses keenly aware of the present

for tonight he will have his play

 

As the moon up above reaches its peak

he sniffs the air appreciating the scent

of a whisper of jasmine floating in the dark

erasing any thoughts of repent

 

He sneers, leaning back…yes right on time

her pink scarf bright against the muted light

the click of her heels on the cold pavement

his sweet victim of the night

 

Her head held high in confidence

golden hair twisting in the chill of the wind

but her eyes dart quickly through the ominous streets

conflicting the message she sends

 

Fear…he can smell it…and jasmine perfume

as she quickens her lovely pace

But it’s too late…he is upon her now

terror lines her tender face

 

“Excuse me miss, do you have a light?”

he pulls a cigarette from behind his right ear

She catches her breath and steadies herself

but her eyes are still filled with fear

 

“No I don’t smoke” she softly replies

Oh my…such a pity

As her silhouette fades into the night

he purrs…here kitty, kitty

 

Maybe tonight wasn’t his night

but tomorrow when the moon is high

he will follow the scent of jasmine perfume

tomorrow…he won’t let her walk by….

I don't usually read poetry because I don't write it, but your drew me in with that fantastic title! I thought this was well written and you are very talented. You have a gentle style of psychological horror going on here and I would like to read a story of yours if you have one.

I've only written one story - an erotic little tale with my friend Trace - he is on this site as well. All of my writing is poetry. This one was a little out of my comfort zone, as I usually write romance and love poems, but it is based on a personal experience. I have Part 2 and 3 but need to do some editing before I post. Thank you for your wonderful comment and compliment. I appreciate it very much :) Julie

Oh what a chilling scene you paint here so skillfully!! It may not be your usual theme but stepping outside the box shows your talent well! ;-)
