THE LOVE SLAYER

A beam of light doth shine upon
the empty log thou sitting on
Thy mouth can not help but to laugh
to see pack of talking cats.

"Good day" says he, the Persian cat
a female nestled near his back,
her coat is brown, and full of gloss,
her eyes as green as Irish moss.

The other cat, a female too
enjoys nothing more to raise a coup
and with a flowing coat of silky ginger
her eyes are but a crystal glimmer.

Yet another one, who stands alone
attractive and intellectually known
has but two eyes of the deepest brown
his soft ebony fur cascading down.

And thou four cats enjoy to talk,
about the river, about the rock
and yet the Persian one replies,
Into the ginger's glossy eyes,

"He knew it all along, you see,
about your feelings for him...that cat he,
and as you mewed to him when walking away...
oh, what else could I possibly say!"

The ginger cat, eyes now wet
reminisces of the moments she spent
talking to the black-furred cat
and regrets every single word she spat.

Noting the ginger's teary delay,
the Persian feline walks away
his tail caressing the homely face
of the female from "a better race."

And the reddish feline stands alone
in a puddle of sadness to an extent unknown
to shed no tear, for she can't change
the love slayer's cruel, destructive sayings.

Now she loves the blackened cat no more
knowing dead is now the love she hoped for
for known he knows her feelings of
the ebony cat; tell no creature of your love.
