Muse's Resistance

Kitty mews in the dark
The other sits beside him
He slumbers, satisfied with his kill zone.

The other contemplates the belt as it sits
Wrapped like a mortal coil.
How easy it would be to slide it around his neck
Yank
Until the mortal coil snaps and leaves its band
Of red around his life.

She could be finished
With him
Forever.

Luck Buddy

The kitty gauges the situation
And his yellow eyes capture
The wrestling match.

The man is winning
The other is crying
For mercy.

For him it is all for the moment,
For the other it is an eternity.

The kitty mews and his wraspy meow
Is covered up with the pants and heaves.

Enough, the other whispers, gasping for air
Hoping the end is near.

All the other does is hold on around his neck
Digging nails into his back
And hopes to draw blood.

Finally, the end is near and he breaks from the other
He's finished
Her.

Lucky Him, he got away with it again.

Unexpected Twist

Isn't that everyone's "favorite" part of a story, yet the most aggravating? That scene that leaves you, the reader, with a tight knot in their stomach that makes you cringe, a slight attack of nausea might even settle in and make you wonder, "Ok, now what?" Well, that what my Valentine's Day was about today.

While excitement and thrill spilled over my emotions tonight, it was indeed the unexpected twist that has now caused a lingering sick feeling in my gut that sends wave-on-wave of uncertaintity.

Pan-Bear, 2 cards, a dozen roses, dinner, an Eagle in the highlands of Scotland, a hand-crafted bound book with pictures and vellum- it all leaves me wondering, "Ok, now what?"

My heart for the first time since that day feels heavy with confusion and sadness. So, until this unexpected twist decides to untwist itself, it simmers in my emotions and it keeps me awake at night.
