Ode To Tiki

Little tiger
burning so low
mellow like yellow
flowing through my life
like leaves on wind.

Little tiger
gently burnt
gone like unheard words
into darker climes;
gone like memories
of death to the dead.

Little tiger
whose embers glow,
who's gone
but never goes,

Little tiger
stay not dead...
Remember..
touch my soul
and go.

Cat Memories

Sweet cat, look
look, birds smile.
sing lightly, birds;
smile not;
My cat sleeps lightly.

My cat sleeps only
sleeps
will wake and smite
will wake and chase yon birds
will wake

My cat sleeps well
sleeps too well
My cat hears not this voice
hears not the cry
the pain
hears not good-bye

My cat sleeps well.

Tiki Talk

Little tiger
burning so low
mellow like yellow
flowing through my life
like leaves on wind.

Little tiger
gently burnt
gone
like unheard words
into darker climes;
gone like memories
of death to the dead.

Little tiger
whose embers glow
who's gone
but never goes

Little tiger
stay not dead
Remember
touch my soul
and go.

Loveloss

I sit
and mourn a cat, two cats
Cats?! you say
and ask me why
and I answer
cause cats are part of the heart
and I answer cause love goes free goes free
cause love goes where it goes
and to my cats is where it goes
cause they give freely back.
It reaches across, it reaches the best
the nest of the heart
the heart of the best.
My little boys gone are left in the heart
My boys are gone
My love lives on
