Two poems

(I have two bc I couldn't decide lol. The 1st I wrote bc I was feeling the feels, the 2nd I wrote for an assignment on my course)

Mirror

I found God in the mirror

She told me "I love your entirety

I love it with my entirety"

I said "I don't believe you."

So she reached for me and in her touch I understood

I was undeludedly complete.

Then I looked away and forgot she was there.

Paw

She's living art.

Fiery eyes. They know more than you.

She hides her gaze, rests alone

In plain sight - Up a tree, on a roof, curled up on the sofa only a meter and an eternity away.

'This is what you're missing'

She performs a lazy stretch.

She will never be a pet, a bride, or an alibi.

She's a puppeteer not a queen.

I call her a bitch because she's obviously not a dog -

It makes people laugh.

She's like looking in a mirror,

This side of me I pretend doesn't exist looks back at me.

We love her, and she milks us for all she wants.

You can give in or play her games of give and take,

But whatever road you choose

You're still just travelling across the palm of her hand-

Paw,

I should say.

Because after all that she's just a fucking cat.
