Life On The Couch
No Castles Here
Nor Knights, errant
No Spires or spikes,
Love stories, unrequited or full in the vibrancy of their thrall.
Simply a hand in mine, fingers laced, as the cat naps, his tail twitching with each breath, dreaming.
You glance at me, I meet your eyes,
holding the curve of your cheek in my mind,
a picture in companionable silence.

The great irony as it pertains to me: all of my cats are named after King Arthur characters!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I feel so comforted and loved.
I really like this. To hell with your copyright. I have printed it off and stuck it in my pocketbook.
thanks for the smiles...a refreshing respite...
Really lovely. There is nothing so beautiful as simplicity and happiness.
What a pleasant surprise when I came expecting to find yet another old castle.
Wow! That was really good! REALLY GOOD!
Really beautiful.
JeffScape: Nothing wrong in that, unless of course your cats behave more like Donald or Daffy.
Ronda: Thanks. You are.
Alan: Thanks. Just remember where it came from. It's flattering that you like it, but what pocketbook are you referring to?
Brian: You are welcome.
Kate: You're spot on.
Barbara: I'm full of surprises. Thanks.
Otin: You flatter, kind sir!
Leah: Thank You!
Poetikat: What a wonderful complement!

Aww e that's so sweet. My companion did a runner yesterday (Lily the Labrador of course). I had to pick her up at the pound this morning. No tickles on the bed for her!
Thanks for stopping by. Jacob looks so much like my Lenny's mom, Annie who I rescued right before she had her three kids -- named them Lenny (he doesn't keep kosher and is named for L on Law & Order, Hairy, and Edo. All great kids. Thank you for the lovely poem. My kitties are my muses too......
:-)
companionable silence

Sounds like your couch is your castle, with a castle-full of romance. Beautifully said :)
I havn't started The Plague yet! Just finishing 'Trumpet' for my other reading group. Have you finished it? I will start it this weekend. my sister is reading it too, and says it is very good (but we often differ in our opinions on books...)
Beautiful. I like that.
I love your Castle theme, and enjoyed the previous halloween post too! Hope you are having a great weekend :)
Beautiful, Liz!
Thanks for the bday wishes, and the note of condolence about Armenia. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. :)
Kitty cat, kitty cat,
What have you done?
Without my morning cuppa,
I am all undone.
So carefully I placed my cup,
The tag you couldn't resist
So now my tea's all over the floor.
And your tail is in a twist.
Happy TT
