          Cat Proud

 

A part of what you are to me

Knowing you are free to be

apart from me

and yet

I am no longer free

to be alone from thee

so hold my heart my love my soul

for you are all that keeps me whole

Upon this sea of life and storm

I hold your love to light and warm

my every breath

on every turn with you I yearn to be

to hold you close to feel you blink

your breath upon my face

refreshes me as we embrace

and then I sink to deep contented sleep

a well fed cat

in Summer sun

whose furry dreams 

have just begun

paws atingle purrs  aloud 

whisker flicking joy and proud

as only cats can be

"so hold my heart my love my soul
for you are all that keeps me whole
Upon this sea of life and storm
I hold your love to light and warm"

I loved this part and really enjoyed the poem. And there never is a love that can match what is between you and your pet.

so I see what love after decades of being together can be. This is wonderful.
There is a delicious melancholy just between the gaps...but I felt it. sweet and ripe
and it makes me wanting to find such a love, sustaining and true.
