Analysis of Gray Cat



When I was a boy. There was so much joy
 Not a care in the world. Nothing to bring
 me down. Playing the game of tag night
 and day to pass the time away.

Sitting by this piece of concrete. Seeing
 the school lights flicker. Not a care in the
 world such a perfect night. I light a cigaret to
 sense a bit of warmth upon my lips.
  A blurry vision seeing
 you come out of the dark down the alley way
The way you where discovering the night. Jumping at a silver gate. You walked across sitting by a mail box. You licked your paws.

When you turned to me and looked. In
 your eyes I can see. A whole another truth
 to wonder. The roses that swayed that got
 caught in rain.

They whispered and said that you and me are one. Gray cat getting wet kept me
 company. Kept looking in the gentle rain.
 Beneath the trees he hides.

Ever since you went away. I ask myself
 Why? I still don't know. The window to
 my heart remains open. A bigger hole
 without your love. Although the gray cat carries my pain.

Gray cat stares and shares the same
 sky with you and me. Knows, it will not
 go back home if, your not here. When I am not safe he comforts me.

I only know that tonight is a beautiful
 night. To feel that when I look up and
 imagine you among one of those stars.
 It only makes me smile.

The Gray cat sad and blue. Never forgets
 that you were mine. He must know how
 much I suffer. Knows the pain, Knows the
 reason why he is here. Doesn't mind the
 rain.

Because when I look in his eyes there is
 a single tear.
 Oh dear, my dear, my darling life.
 Reflection of the moon that laughs.
 It pranks with my emotions.

If loving you is mistaken. Then it is my
 fault that I loved you from the moment
 we met. Deep down I knew.
 Then What life wanted to be. Now I don't know.

The Gray cat doesnt look away. Let's me
 know I am here to comfort you, the same
 sky your dreaming on. You and me we are
 the same. I will not return home if your
 not there. If you're in pain I won't leave your
 side.

I only know that tonight is a beautiful night.
 To feel that when I look up and picture you
 among one of those stars. It only makes me
 smile.

The Gray cat sad and blue. Never forgets
 that you were mine. Doesn't mind the rain.
 Knows the reason, knows my pain. He is
 there to stay.

More and forever-more you will be part of
 my eyes. So pure these tear drops like
 spring rain. In these stray cats eyes.

I see even though he hides in the dark.
 Knows my soul, Knows my pain. That
 single tear drop that hangs in his eyes.

The Gray cat sad and blue. Never
 forgets that you were mine. More and
 forever you will be in my eyes.

The Gray cat sad and blue. Never forgets
 that you were mine. Doesn't mind the rain
 Knows the reason, Knows my pain. Jumps
 down and walks away. Knows the truth.

I only know that tonight is a beautiful night.
 I tuck on my collar jacket and shake away the
 rain walking away through the rain. Looking back. To see the Gray cats shadow fade away in the rain.

Only to feel an ounce better. To know he is
 always there. The Gray cat getting caught in
 the rain. He never turns away I go back
 home I turn back the school lights keep on
 flickering. I see the Gray cat in the reflection
 of a puddle. Till its time to come home, he will stay by my window. Till I dream away.

About this poem

I wrote this a couple nights ago. I sit on a piece of concrete that sticks out of the street corner of a house. Where I sometimes go to think and have a smoke. I saw a familiar face that always comes out at night. Where we locked eyes and found my inspiration Sad, relaxing hope you enjoy.
