A GHOST KITTY MESSAGE
I tried to say I love you
the only way I know how, in
the only language that I knew,
but all you heard was “meow”.
Too bad I had to go but
I had other things to do.
I found another foldy and
she’s mousing on the moon.
If you see me as a shadow
or reflection on a pan,
I’m hoping you can see
how handsome I still am.
If I made a shadow big as a house
don’t be frightened, don’t be scared.
I would bring you a dead mouse
just to show you that I cared.
You loved me as a tiny thing
a little tribble that could purr.
I filled your little empty place
I think I was your cure.
You love me, I know you do,
because kitties feel love too.
we played games like cat and mouse
the other two knew I ran this house.
Sorry if I startled you
when you came in from the storm.
I marked you when I rubbed your leg
and I wanted you dry and warm.
You look down and our eyes met
a silent hello our eyes said
then I went to smoke as you gasped
“ I thought you were dead “.
I’ll never go and you should know,
just so you don’t get furious,
if your bathroom door opens real slow
it’s just your ghost kitty being curious
Don’t be sad, don’t be blue.
Soon, a brand-new me will show,
because I’ll be back 8 more times.
Kitties have 9 lives you know.
