Darling Moggy

Eyes half-closed, I sensed
Our minds speak a tone,
The silent bond.
Ahhhhhhhh…
Sharing joy of the awakening.
Warmth is abundant, no questions asked.
You are there, always, and beautiful
Watching, blinking, eyes half-closed.
Like a shadow you are me, I am you.
We stride the days peacefully.
You
are the quintessence of calm.
Warm fur of comfort!
Hugs of moggy feline and sly kisses!
Say you will stay forever;
Say with eyes half-closed.
I know, no questions asked,
No telling due.
It’s the calling from near and far, I hear.
Sniffing the scent of mine, you always
know
Waiting for the signs of comfort.
No denying this moggy for sure.
Shower of love and rain of kisses
Much deserved.
Tested in sickness and health
Shying in the dark corners
And in the folds of curtains.
Silence is deafening
Mommy, sense a moggy
You and I shall shine no matter
Dark or bright
We remain the sun and rain
To shower eternal love and bask in rays of
hope.
With this bond I fight the day, I come
home a hero.
Say to me you love me too my sweet moggy,
my beau.
Morning kisses, goodnight smooch
Shall never fail to greet my moggy.
It is you and me, forever we may.
