Beseeching little blue eyes
twinkling softly up at me,
mischief shining in them
like an imp out on a spree.
I can't resist your magic
weaving bonds around my heart.
There's no escaping from it;
I'm captured by your art.
Our God must have such humour
to create your life this way,
to give me great enjoyment
as I watch you when you play.
Your rolling, tumbling antics
can not help but make me smile.
Captivating creature,
you bewitch me and beguile.
The earth is full of beauty,
we just need to take the time
to look at all the wonders,
close eyes against the grime.
A small part of that beauty
is a kitten as it plays,
gambolling light-heartedly
in very funny ways.
A scrap of life so precious,
a bundle of soft fur,
I love to stroke your softness
as you cuddle up and purr.
You know how to seduce me,
to wrap paws around my heart,
sweet kitten, the grand master
of the captivating art.
