Touch not the cat Tis a warning fairly given The wounds she inflicts Cut straight to the heart Touch not the cat Hunter heed this advice She cares not who she bites In her own hunger and her pain Touch not the cat Your heart you will hold forfeit And will all be for naught In the endless hours before dawn Touch not the cat You will spend forever regreting The sacrifice you made to her pain For you cannot touch her soul |

Interesting, and I read more into it than there seemed to be. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Prometheus, Well when the words started coming I was thinking of one person...and the pain he had caused...a warning was given... You write beautifully...love laced with pain |

Wisdom indeed never trust a cat, they seem so friendly..only when they want to though. really enjoyed the poem. I have 3 cats at home and two dogs, I always get worried when they cats want paly means they are after something, lol, "Death makes angels of us all and put wings where we once had shoulders, smooth as raven's wings.
