My lap is warmed
By your presence
Please don't wander away
My foot may numb, my tea gets cold
Small prices that I pay
For the time with you is never taken for granted
I am blessed
With purrs and furs you leave behind
Woven into my soul and dress

Upon waves' break
Staring blankly through savage waves, breaking upon worn jettied rocks. On tired tongue a salty taste, taunting spray portraits your face, In cursed thoughts, your voice mocks: "Be a man, real men don't break." Yet here stands "less than a man" poised atop crested wave. Turbulent undertows of mounted lies. Saltwater stings tear prickled eyes. Wash away by ferocious tide. Dragged out, adrift vast open ocean, Weathered driftwood, debris, discarded notions. Softly spoken lies echo through tortured mind's hell. Floating aimlessly at rhythmic water's swell. Day fades away with night, light brings day again. Cast upon discarded's land, silk fine grain white sand, Strewn together gifts of sea, randomly along the beach. Feelings return slowly, cracked open eyes. Sudden streak across the sky, fiery tail cuts black of night. Dissociation breaks to hope in light. Countless stars shine through space and time. Filling empty space..... in time.

My foot my numb, my tea gets told - small prices you pay. Absolutely beautiful. Nicely Done!!
This is so sweet! I have three cats beside me as I read this. (I wish I had a lint roller because their hairs are all over my sweater.) I didn't even think to write about my pets for this challenge. I have read a ton of poems about family members, self-love, and mostly about romantic love. This is the first take on the challenge I've read about kitties! ⚡💙⚡
Absolutely beautiful - Shows you what the love of a kitty with purrs and furs can give you. Beautiful Done!!
A sweet poem… liked: “I am blessed With purrs and furs you leave behind Woven into my soul and dress”🤣
