It is midnight as I covet some silence
Skimming books by the fire in the recess
Some loving eyes then peeped under the pages
Which told far greater stories than what I've read
My lovely furball sprung up and wanted cuddles
Her brown coat crimsoned more with the burning blaze
Her tail wags as she joyously licked my face
She stared at me and oh boy! I am dazed!
To you I share my solitude
