Sunday Muse -- My Love

     Unlike the Cats 

Kitten*, you've nine lives seven yet to spare 

I don't count my lives instead I count loves 

So far I've had three sweet and romantic 

For a moment, Kitten, I'll tell you those 

"Burning Love" Art by Diggie Vitt

My first love we "set the woods on fire" *

Our burning flames "couldn't get much higher" *

Fires can't burn forever even love's 

And when those burning  flames went out we crashed 

By Ralf Czekalla & Art 

Came a love flooded with admiration 

She loved my uniform called me flyer 

Flew up the hills down into the valleys 

Love dripping from the sky falling on us 

Degreed and holding good jobs met at work 

Cubicles abutting played footsie 'neath 

Peers called us "love birds with spouses at home" 

That world came crashing down sunk in the mire 

"Waiting for Better Days" by Matthias-Haker 

Kitten*, I know better days soon will come 

I like you a lot might they be with you 

* Notes: (1) "Light my Fire" by the Doors, (click Listen/Lyrics also ?)

             (2)  "Kitten" use here is as a term of affection
