Kissing My Elbows

With you sitting in my lap, watching my fingers speak sentences

Staring up into my eyes, I wonder what you see

You pose for me and I think you are beautiful

We sleep all day, you wedged in every new space my body bends

I tell you I love you and you purr and breathe heavy

Kissing my elbows and fingertips

I make a space for you and you destroy my game of solitaire

So I kiss you and your whiskers tickle my cheek

You investigate my room with curiousity and disregard

Making toys of my slips

Or you wait by my feet, content to be near me

and I to you
