At night all cats are grey
They say at night all cats are grey
Come forth the cats on silent feet
In moonlit monochrome they play
Down from their houses to the street
Come forth the cats on silent feet
To sport in shadows silently
Down from their houses to the street
Secret feline activity
To sport in shadows silently
They hide their lissom bodies sleek
Secret feline activity
In vain mere humans reasons seek
They hide their lissom bodies sleek
In moonlit monochrome they play
In vain mere humans reasons seek
They say at night all cats are grey
******************************************************
The forever game
Danger for fun, you’re just playing the game
Laughing at life and proud of your skill
Playing forever, it’s always the same
Nothing can harm you, you will not take blame
In your eternal search for the thrill
Danger for fun, you’re just playing the game
No-one can reach to your innermost flame
You go where you please and do what you will
Playing forever, it’s always the same
Mercurial man, do you seek for the fame?
Do you yet know what it is to be still?
Danger for fun, you’re just playing the game
Flirting with death and immune to all shame
No time to rest until you’ve had your fill
Playing forever, it’s always the same
Brightly you burn, you will never be tame
Restless your soul
you must try to fulfill
Playing forever, it’s always the same
Danger for fun, you’re just playing the game
I notice the themes. Many thanks for I like your muse.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am revamping some stuff I wrote many years ago which needs a bit of buffing up, and using the knowledge I have gained since. I think I will go and edit the second one, which is a villanelle, but I think it will be better arranged in groups of 6-6-7 lines not 3-3-3-3-3-4
