Speaks to the heart

The first thing that caught my attention for this poem was the picture, I have a cat that looks just like that, and he is my baby:). This particular poem is very nice, and i think it speaks to anyone who has had a love so deep and lost it...secretly wanting it back. I enjoyed it very much.

OMGoodness!

Deep sigh... ah, to be in love again... to breathe my lover's breath, to ache until we touch once more... thank you for your truth and the excellent rythmns of our desires.

Rafika, interesting name, but I see you are a very interesting lady.

You write beautiful poetry and you have a very handsome, huge kitty.  He's gorgeous.

What a fascinating life you're living, you must have a lot to tell us and welcome to Blogit.  This won't be the last you see of me.  You are going to tell us about all your travels and adventures, aren't you?

Yessiree!

That is my baby, Krystal.  When he was a kitten, he used to be purple. The vet painted him with Gentian Blue to cure some skin disease he had.  We used to laugh our heads (and other body parts)off when people asked us if that was his natural color.  Now, he is monstrously huge and perfectly white.  He hynotizes our guests with the stares from his lovely green eyes.

Very nicely done. An interesting poem.

Is that your cat?

Thanks for your comments

You all are very kind.  I appreciate the critique and the comforting thought that my scribbles are of interest to someone.  I'll work on being more sophisticated in my writing in the future.  Thanks again.  Keep writing!

The poem reminded me of a song "Come on kiss me on a Monday,

a Tuesday, a Wednesday is best...

wow, I like this a lot, maybe you will reconsider the beginning

as the kiss and miss tend to sound a bit trite? But great job

That's my cat, Krystal.  He's monstruous huge!

You have  a very nice name. But I want to thank you for having read  and let a very nice comment. What pleases me most is that, it was  not only of interest, but equally instructive as you wrote. I hope that you will find time to read the current one. On my part I will also visit and read your blog. On this, thank you once again and God Bless.
