A Tale

the night was auspicious it seems
the beach water still and so were the nearby trees
whispering a meeting of its kind
of a rooftop cat and wandering rabbit
the match seemed a misfit
the cat relentless and passionate
the rabbit composed and sedate
but fate had a different tale
the purring of the cat had won over the pale
they went places as the world gasped
in joy of a union so special
the cats united, the rabbits delighted
of nights filled with cat kisses
and days with other remisses
the cat changed for the good
and withstood
all storms and rapids
in the name of love
they made love
under one moon
but fate had a different tale
the constant purring had made the rabbit frail
the match seemed a misfit
the cat composed and innate
the rabbit restless and irate
changed their paths they did as the world gasped
in cloy of a disunion and farewell
the night is auspicious it seems
the beach water still and so are the nearby trees
where voices whisper of a tale
of a rooftop cat
and his hidden paws
counting his flaws
alone in his sleep
