Capture Cat
Late was working I the hours
Chopping carrots at the dinner
Boring duty there's no finer
Plate of my life down the drain
When accompanying moonlight
Sight encroaching through the window
My attention stole in swindle
Then that figure stood for me
Shadow slender in its features
Subtle form of air mysterious
Were I drunk or just delirious
Crow I would believe it be
Yet when squinting eyes so curious
Clearer stark the revelation
The source of my apprehension
That was one cat watching me
Hanging motionless on wire
Lunar silhouette so still
Gazing coldly just until
Leaving I my job just finished
Still I thought about that creature
Slightly vexing me before
Rushing, wanted I no more
New a trouble in my mind
Ready after I took exit
In despite of me however
Was electric pole no better
Steady loom from the feline
Dark a fur and secret motives
From that uninvited entity
Striding home I waited patiently
Break deserving for myself
Peeking through my thin room curtains
I knew how far now I was
From my workplace but alas
Skipping beat my heart within
Apparition unsuspecting
Startling me again that cat
Up on cable my door at
Vision blunt for me produced
But departing, just ignoring
Tucking in myself in bed
Hoping from weird sights me spared
That and happenstances any
Tried I have deserving sleep
Relaxation for my nerves
So that if this mattress serves
Bide tomorrow well and catless…
Groggy morning bed produced
My unhappy situation
Dull routinely desolation
Foggy scenery outside
Whilst I brought myself to streets
Dusty gray old cobblestone
And to peer me all alone
Last night's animal was there
Halting me in place that instant
Did that beast take rest on copper?
Staring me, again improper
Prompting my leave for my job
Steps I took in hurried flustered
Visage frowning my impatience
The cement resounding cadence
Hopes for nonsense less to come…
Thus arrival, donning clothing
Hands on dough and piquant condiments
Process usual, no incidents
Wonders clients would engorge
Unexpecting, nonetheless
On a glimpse I dared to catch
Past and present, eerie match
Hanging tail, piercing eyes
Beast to witness my existence
A fixation unrelenting
Calmly though and one cementing
Least my anger with that one
That recurring furry stranger
Little slayer of forbearance
In my welling true annoyance
“What you want?” I asked to it
Creepy wind runned down my spine
Were those words I heard to utter?
Is my sanity no better
Really than the maddest tools?
I just swear I heard so soothingly
From no source but my environment
Voice exuding odd contentment
Wry and strong to say “Be mine…”
Yet the cat still lays on wire
Callous it to my misfortune
Basking evil and alone
Fast to wallow much in sadism!
I will not stand this abuse
Close the shutters, put on headphones
Better this than undertones
Dry of that thing watching me!
Unbeknownst was I, however
Of my future near and pending
For some demon would be sending
Worst consignment to my head:
In a minute or two later
From that lapse of sound reality
Through my phones and through my frailty
Keen that voice again, “Be mine…”
The unsettlingly unravel
Grim, proceeded me to strike
An invisible harsh spike
Chafe of peace to say “Be mine”
Daily after that occurrence
Focus lost, bare my stability
None was doctor, neither therapy
Any help to end the bane
Worse, I cannot stop the cat
Now on every route I take
Every time I see and shake
Gaze unmoving from above
Ever picture of that blackness
Small insistent crafty stalker
Always present statue higher
Partner of that hellish song!
My acquaintances to call me
Crazy person in derangement
Only help to make me confident
Why I'm suffering this fate:
It's that devil-brought foul kitty!
Somehow casted an enchantment
Putrid being has some penchant
Bliss tormenting such the innocent!
Restless sleepless lies my bed
There's no answer on the web
That seems can dislodge this stab
As “Be mine, be mine, BE MINE!”
Hurt my scalp by pulling hairs
Tried but none a scream can muffle
This long auditory struggle
Short of killing me someday!
Till I found, I found today
On forgotten shady forum
Online filled with every moron
Screw my skeptic friends, I’ve found
One clue hidden in a message
From a vague and cryptic user
Though called animal abuser
Lone salvation mine she was:
“If you face the soulless cat
Meows possessive in your head
Nearest school now you must find
Of some milk to pour a bowl
Mix with fresh blood for your soul
Shortly after midnight hour
When inside, or risk the sour
Onyx vengeance quickly met”
That must be my cure, it must
There's no other possibly
I won't live so horribly
Great this agony and dread
Mission plain to undertake
Carton and a dish in hands
I don't care for fake amends
On this plan, but I’ll abide
Here I stand front the forsaken
Building and now I'm inside
Razor this shall cut my hide
Clear the red to join the white
Desperation was my usher
To this measure taken, dire
And may be mine vacant wire
Vision when I tell you later
