Cat Eyes

by Sheena Pillai Singh

That Autumn night
An empty castle
night owls sang
I lost my track...

A shining armor
deep blue eyes
stopped my way
held me close…

His gaze on me
I could sense
his breath on hold
I longed for light…

His secret wish
blew me hard
his tooth and nails

crushed my soul...

Those cat eyes
a swollen lip
still haunts hard
I gasp for breath.
