Wipe that sardonic smile <br />Your teeth are showing through <br />Jagged and glistening <br />They gnash exceedingly harsh <br /> <br />I could make out the <br />Shape of malice in your mouth <br />Forming like stalactites <br />Threatening fangs sharp as razors <br /> <br />Still you smile, as enigmatic as a Cheshire's <br />You hate and still show love <br />My mind is mushed and befuddled <br />What is it really? <br /> <br />Purring and stretching <br />You sidle up and jump on my lap <br />Resting your padded paws on my arms <br />Retracted claws at ready <br /> <br />What's a guy to do? <br />I am tempted wring your supple neck <br />Or smother your innocent and trustful face <br /> I tightened my embrace, but then, fondly<br /><br />Eddie Roa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cat-woman/
