Blood

Smooshed behind those purple bruises,

From torn, ravaged skin it oozes.

It's so red, so sticky, so hot!

Soon, it becomes my only thought.

My head is thick and my knees are weak.

That's just what happens when creatures leak.

Stupid.

Ridiculous.

Sissy.

Do they know, this fear is my shame?

My First Haiku: The Last Thought

I hand-wrote my note.

Braced myself, pulled the trigger.

And then changed my mind.

Challenge

KrankyKat in Stream of Consciousness

What my brain decides to think up right before I fall asleep?

Usually, it's food-related.  If I'm super lucky, I'll remember something that I was trying to think of sometime that day--like an adjective I needed for a conversation that I was having, or the name of someone I saw.

Challenge

My lost love.

Your love was my life, it was my drug.

My heart is broken; empty is my mug.

I can see the bottom, no coffee there.

You're all gone. Gone. Life just isn't fair!

I hang my head in grief, misery, sorrow.

I know I won't see you again 'til tomorrow.

Challenge

I needed a username for Warband (RPG game). Needed something aggressive and fashionable.  It sorta stuck.

You just sit there in my cup,

Why do I love you so?

You warm me up, you wake me up,

Without you, I just--no!

How could I live without you?

You make my every day!

I'm addicted, yes it's true.

What more can I say?

Your companionship is perfect,

You're always there for me.

Oh yes, I'm a hopeless addict.

I'm gonna get some coffee.

Pink

Pink is the child of red and white,

It truly is a pretty sight!

Soft as the blush on a baby's cheek,

Sweet as the language that lovers speak.

Warm as the touch of somebody's skin,

Tastes like fresh peaches (not from a tin).

It's palest tones chase my blues away,

It's brightest shades bring me joy,

I don't care what any of you say,

Pink looks good on girl or boy!

Love, Fear, Passion

All my fears surrounding me,

They threaten me with death.

I cannot stay, I cannot flee.

Fast and short is my breath.

I long to feel you near me,

Your breath upon my ear.

To feel your arms around me,

So I may know no fear.

Then suddenly you're here with me.

You take me by the hand.

"It's all right now, Love, you'll see,"

All my fears be damned!

Firm and gentle is your embrace,

Our kiss is long, deep and sweet.

My hands reach up to touch your face.

Quick, pulsing, our hearts now beat.

My passion now awoken,

I know you feel the same.

All fears now banished, broken.

I softly say your name.

Very little else was said,

Too focused on our fun.

We soon lay naked on the bed,

Prepared to join as one.

It was just then that I awoke,

From the sweetest of my dreams.

The spell is now completely broke.

Forever alone, it seems.

My own eulogy? Awkward...

She always hated speeches. She said once that she'd rather stick a fork in her own eye than to sit through another "circuitous declaration of one's own greatness". So I'll just say this: I miss you, and so do half the cats on this side of the Mississippi.
