********************************************************

Cupid’s cat

Into my heart you stealthily crept

Padding on tiny cat paws

Silent as a wraith

A mew of longing

Stroked my eardrums

Driving an arrow deep into my skin

Like that of Cupid

You raised a tiny paw to me

Before fastidiously licking it clean

Rubbery pads stroked my leg

Tiny razor claws retracted

Sending shivers into my marrow

When I lifted you up

Your cerulean eyes to see

Raspy, rough, your tongue

Blessed me with a kiss

So tiny, so furry, soft, warm

You weigh less than a pound

Yet I felt a weight of love

Heavy as an anvil

Upon which you have forged

A sword of Damacles

Hanging over my head

To my mental, my emotional well being

Your soft purring have forged a link

Binding me for life

A bargain struck

Signed in tender love

Wherein you shall provide warmth

Companionship, emotional support

In return I provide food

A warm bed, a loving home

You swat me with your paw

Letting me know you need me

I stroke your downy soft fur

Luxuriating in it’s silken down

You caress me with your raspy tongue

I ruffle your little head

It seems you get the best of this bargain

Not so

My heart is full

My life, my soul, completed

You are the once missing piece of the puzzle

The hole filled

My picture complete

So sir feline I beg you stay

We shall complete each other

In comfortable companionship

Each day of our lives

Thank you for coming into my life
