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)
