Kamrita

Believe a new bloom of spring

Opening one’s eyes to the spirited world mewling plaintively

Crystal blue iris illuminating strange features

Coating the world in an iridescent glow

Diamond claws adorned upon tingling titian paws

Flexing impatiently yearning to leap, bound, hunt…

Dappled pelt ever shifting, wavering, vanishing

Striped black with orange

Unto the neglected forest paths wandered only by beasts unknown

Rippling muscles tense, anticipating a chase

Power entailed as the Mother’s daughter pounced

Unsuspecting prey bowed into submission

Warm red tears traced trails down heaving sides

Satisfaction of the hunt roaring inside, threatening to break free

Thunder ripped, unearthly chords echoed through the desolate wild

‘neath the noble guise lay an innocent soul unsullied by man

‘neath the ferocity lay a vulnerable kitten

‘neath the fiery pleasure of blood lay a devoted companion

Home she sauntered, a deep throated hum emanating

As we curled up nestled in each other’s arms, folded with trust, home by the hearth
