To walk on this earth,
free to travel anywhere
I balance on water for you
or in a tree or anywhere
you would be, I’d be there…
I’m not a caterpillar
I am not a balloon
I am not spliced clay,
I could try to draw you,
but I have no thumbs,
it’s just that I am a cat,
and I am simply lost
without you.
Won’t you come with me
and play?
I’d be your favorite cat
learn to tell the time of day
drape my head in your palms,
reel my hips to your elbows,
rub my toes next to yours,
and then I would purr, I would;
I’d tell you all the time
that I love you….
just only say,
“you are mine, Valentine.”
