FLYING WITH YOUR WINGS
14 January 2012

You wrap your sigh-soft words
around me,
like a gossamer skin
and I stretch
gently, so gently,
cat-happy, deep-breathing,
on tiptoes,
arms curved around your words
to hold them
like foam-bath bubbles
and blow mine back at you,
back arched, feeling your
masked knight-in-melting-armour messages,
smiling at me,
dancing around me and with me,
teasing, advancing and retiring,
lifting me, flying me,
painting their magic,
hiding and calling my name,
in love-fun-laughter,
but always there,
your dewdrop whisper-words
in your moonlight
and my sunlight
and not a single thread
has ever
nor will ever
be broken,
and this I vow
in your honour,
yes,
your honour,
my Super Spiderman hero.

Cat stretches are the best, aren't they?

Such fantastic imagery for an enchanting love game.

You have borrowed wings? Your own wings are in perfect asset, but ohhh how the inspirational winds make them fly high and higher ...

Oh, yes, Nicole.  You are so right.  It is such a pleasure to watch my Cleo (and was such a pleasure to watch my Tigger) stretching!  Cats stretch with such feline grace, beauty, ecstasy and focus!  Thank you for reading and loving cats.

Margherita, thank you.  What a sweet thing to say!
