~ BLACK CAT ~
A black cat came to me,
It spun, on the marble intentions
Of its lineage....
Its secret rebel lightning
An omen,
And in the parallel nature of wind
It glinted....black...
Its blackness
Held a re-baptized fluidity.
Mother Nature's prowler...
It pounced upon my ego
Marked me, scarred me,
Excluded me,
No kiss. No hiss.
It mangled my depression,
It licked my wounds,
Its sandpaper tongue
Left dark and blank,
My previous impressions.
My mind became a criminal
Cruel, quixotic,
A danger
To itself.
Through the moon
A black cat came for me,
It spun,
On the marble intentions
Of its insanity.
It hisses...now....deep inside...
As
A twist
In my DNA....
The Sphinx
In my alien lineage...
Has left me,
With far
Too many,
Lives...
Tony Taylor

Tony, you are the poetry daddy and also the cat's whiskers (no pun intended).
Superb writing and imagination you have bestowed for one and all and one helluva of a poetic journey to boot!
Your engaging writing is equally mirrored by your imagination and skill morphing both and transposing all so neatly and captivating too for all to digest.
Your themes are never dull, never tiresome, always unique and a poetic treat to read.
So many poetry nuggets of gold can be mined from reading just one of your poems and just when a reader thinks it can't get any better they then discover the motherload.
Tony another gemstone to reread and full honours most happily bestowed.
Thank you for sharing and I wish you well sir.
