This is dedicated to my loved and lost feline friends...

(please post your poems here)

leftover lover

we found a feral mama cat

kits spread out from

garbage pile to garage

five little lost ones

tiny crying mewling babes

four manx one tabby

two manx tan two manx black

and tabby little fat boy fine

bring them all inside get warm

their poor closed eyes needed

warm compresses and salve

little sores treated with betadine

they nursed from bottles

they fought five for four nips

baths because they couldn’t keep clean

then the anemia set in

fudge lilybelle cream then sugar

faded faded faded faded

some real fast three hours and gone

sugar fourteen hours of hell

in our arms these sweet souls died

now mister roly-poly puddin’ pie

my lonely tabby leftover lover

Warning: Descriptive of death

a beautiful void (for Onyx)

such fragile excellence

going going gone

toll taken claimed

dim body begging

hungering for

sight and sound

blood pulse breath

seizing spasms shudder

head lolls eyes glaze

tongue protrudes

from your thirst

you lay lingering

in my arms

the memory of

your warm head

touching mine

dragging shock

along with it

like a chasm

a separated space

between my heart

and my mind

my love has

this beautiful void

Very moving, and very descriptive, I hope others with a writing flare will post theirs too!

I'm so sorry for your losses.  I think it's a special gift that you are able convey your feelings through poetry.  

You write such captivating words. It's as though I were there,and I once knew these lovers of your soul. You are truly deep and passionate. And even when you describe the death of your child,there is a known peace behind your words. No longer in pain and suffering,are these children of yours...and this calms the raging anguish in your heart....yet you still have deep pain and suffering. Even as the time passes on,the yearning you have inside for the pieces of you that are no longer here physically,remains. My friend,take refuge in The Lord. They never left you,love. They are always at your side. Just because you cannot see them,does not mean that they are not there. And I am reminded of Faith. Believing in the things not seen.......you are an amazing woman!
