Jewel eyes





Such a charmer
by day
you sleep
and rest in sunlight
at a favorite window
watching
by night
you are a wild cousin
stalking prey
only you can see
invisible
except for your jewel-bright eyes
flashing
in the moonlight
like far-away stars
and sometimes
cuddling by my head
purring contentedly
as I dream
