We met in the dark
Your eyes shone as you approached
Keeping the distance you made your moves
Weeks had passed since I last saw you
I had to let you go
You didn’t want to be with me
The choice you made was hard to swallow
I fought it off initially
Seeing it as a phase which would pass
But you were determined
The nights without you continued
When I brought you back in
Within minutes you vanished again
Back to the open door
WIth the food waiting for you
You no longer wanted to be with me
As painful as any loss can be
So to my surprise this night
The pain had subsided
Making room for somehing bigger
A feeling of love and compassion
As you carefully approached me
Never close enough to touch
But my heart was moved deeply
You were at home now
And yet you didn’t forget about me
As you turned around
And walked back to the door
Your meow resounded in my heart
I may have lost you to the neighbour
For the first I know
I truely found you
Thank you White Spot
As he really got a mind of his own, thought it would be fun to have a different composition with Pooh.. space on the left while he looks to the right 🙂
Beautiful Pooh was lying in the garden staring like cats can stare.. this weeks entry for the Monochrome Madness challenge hosted by Melbourne based Leanne Cole (http://leannecole.com.au/blog)
Black against white, contrasting with the light
You sit there waiting as you blend in dark as night
A body shape is all that is left as I try to focus
Failing to do so, another form of beauty presents itself
Contours outline what is essentially missing
Or perhaps show that there is no light without dark
Long after you walked passed me with a meow
All that remains now is the silhouette of a cat
