Chapter 32: Insidious

Diabolical you float formless
Disappearing from sight
Spring brings life and Eros
But I seek the friend
You insinuate yourself into me
Driving me beyond what I seek
Slipping into you purring endless
Like a new state of mind it invites
Me into so many new flows
Passionate I’m willing to pretend
When I close my eyes it’s you I do see
Endless in your leak
Tasting every feline excess
Starlight memories cast on the wall
Forming a pattern which slows into movements
An orchestra of dead light
Somehow giving credence to you
Should I feel this access
You’ve somehow gained, I’ve no intention to fall
And this is not the way that disease presents
Enjoying the ephemeral sight
Never to return it’s true
All I wanted was everything
And I’m not inclined to compromise
You are a kitten in my night sky
You could easily be a crimson sun
To anyone other
Than me with my transcendental aiming
With that brilliant smile and eyes
Instead I pretend to try
Even as older games remain undone
Just because of the way you purr
Critically acclaiming
My feline prize
