Cat Eyes Poem by Barry Middleton

she had eyes like a cat
just imagine that
she looked mighty good
from where I sat

she moved like a feline
my brain went blind
what I was thinking
might have been a crime

she purred like a kitten
might say I was smitten
if love is a bug
I was love bug bitten

call it love at first sight
but the Buddha was right
and I learned in time
pain ends the delight

like smoke in a curl
love is only a whirl
a cat strutting at night
it's just a working girl

it is good while it lasts
love is always a blast
then it slinks on away
like my Tomcatting past
