SONGS & DREAMS
about
LOVE

by Jeffrey Murrell

A FELINE FRIEND


Her home was a very secure place,
Being a large, candle-lit room
Whose floors lay padded with plush cushions,
Whose walls and corners were shrouded
By exotic Eastern tapestries.
She took a large animal in her house,
As she was alone and longing for love,
Far and unknowingly distant from her!
The creature was feline, large and long,
Muscular curves coated with silky gold.
She took it into her lonely house
With the intentions of making love
Because she loved it, though it took some
Difficult persuasion, they did so.
Then they rested and, as she slept, it fled.
