As Long as Forevers Don't Cease

your world is quiet, and time is at rest..

 

 

 

 

As Long as Forevers Don't Cease

 

 

Something moves,

Beneath the vermilion shirt

I had flung onto the carpet

 

Your world is quiet

And time is inert…

 

You find your way out

Not knowingly

Blessing my hour with a smile

 

The morning kiss,

You insist on one cheek

I feel a purr

Welcoming and sleek

A polite melody

Since you cannot speak

And a long glance

At the yellow bowl

 

The fur I gently groom,

Like the chaste snowfall

Preceding the briefest bloom

All withered in a memory

 

Your world is quiet,

And the moon is at rest…

 

I treasure your listening

To an aged aching chest

Even when you hear not

The calling of your name

 

In your eyes of ocean blue

Sunlight is lovelier,

And in mine

Flickers a subtle promise

 

I watch as you drift into sleep

Your sweet curled figure

Will not be mine to keep

 

The years will not linger,

And tomorrows shall sleep,

Sighing into nothings of celesta

Of no color, of no reek,

Gentle mist that bears

A dawn that shall never dare

Whine or Peek

 

Soundless with which

You are familiar

 

So that my warmth

Is for you to seek,

 

As long as forevers

Never tire or cease…

Author's Note

This is a tribute to my 4 month old kitten, Munto, a few days ago I found out there might be a strong chance he is completely deaf. I was a little saddened to know, but I do not love him any less.

This poem had me smiling and I even chuckled a few times. A really sweet tribute to a sweet little friend.
