Love poems from Queen beruthiel to her cats...
       two triolets for fur


Your fur as dark as sorcery
Your eyes as green as poison
You show your secret hearts to me
Your fur as dark as sorcery
As dark as death and twice as free
My secret, silent loved one
Your fur as dark as sorcery
Your eyes as green as poison


***


The black cats watch with hungry eyes
The white cat makes no sound
A Queen depends on silent spies
The black cats watch with hungry eyes
As soft as sighs, as hard as lies
As cold as underground
The black cats watch with hungry eyes
The white cat makes no sound

 

 

The story of Queen Beruthiel and her cats is a small pieceof history from the Unfinished Tales.

These poems are Triolets. They were written for the Bitter Valentines challenge at Henneth Annun where you can find my work under the name fileg.
