Golden Boy

Tribute to my first real friend, my cat, who died many years ago

The darkness of the forest puts my mind at rest

The coldness of the wind erases my sorrows.

But the cry of the wild cat brings you back in my head

And the dark wings of time enter my mind.

 

Like a bittersweet melody,

Hidden in the whirlpool of my memories

You’re still here,

Hiding from me.

 

I still wish you weren’t gone,

I still wish I could see you

I still wish I could feel you

My Golden Boy in the Shadows.

 

The softness of your fur

And the sharpness of your claws

Have put in my heart

A still bleeding scar.

 

And even after all this time

I still miss you

You were always by my side

And now, I am like a dying butterfly.

Love at every level is painful. Loss is one of the greatest pains. But you paid great tribute to your old friend with an excellent write. Content, flow and structure, well done.
