Would you know, if I asked you?












Your words creep into my mind like a predator's prey.
And with my minds eye I stalk them,
Waiting for the right moment.
But when is the right moment?
And how can we ever know?
And so I retreat, claws retracting and skulk to the far corners of my mind.
It is quiet here.

The start of the poem came across as being fuelled with tension and the last few lines seemed to hold more peace and understanding. Beautiful :)

Whoa, the imagery. A lunging paw of a cat is really vivid in my head.

I agree, this is excellent imagery!
