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

  Give the dog a bone 
  and he will love you forever 
  Just before come night 
  bone has tell-tale scent 
  He'll lick with his tongue 
  exchanging your scent for his 
  Then bury quickly 
  hides bone from oncoming storm 

  Wolves in the forest 
  and coyotes too there abound 
  By light of the moon 
  they'll come in to find his loot 
  Packs of predators 
  commotion, chaos erupts 
  Winter coming fast 
  wind howls echo through the hills 

  Dog will sing a rhyme 
  his stash safe beneath the dirt

             The fish the fish!! 

            It's the fish he cried 
            it's the fish you smell 
            Had them for supper 
            from your yellow bag 

            Bag of groceries 
            they were my goodies 
            Sardines' odors stay  
            stinky on their own 

            Baudelaire * I am not 
           (His "Autumn Sonnet") **
            Sardines help me write 
            
            cheeky poem later 
            to light your candles  
         (hope to make you blush)
