soft and silky streak,
across the slim body as if
by design... a dark brown
tail highlights the difference,
brown eyes turning sky blue
in a serene and calming way,
teeth like fangs on either side
offer a menacing point of view,
long legs and black paws
even on the underside,
pure bred all the way...
and when he enters the room
everyone knows that day,
announcing in a special way
no hearing loss today...
purring when being rubbed
silent when sleeping,
curled up in a tiny ball,
not quite sure of anything,
juxtaposed against the yellow
ones - two brothers they are,
all of whom have shared space
for thirteen years or more...
shy at first and even after
not trusting anyone, he poses
no threat with a sweet demeanor
but tomorrow he might trust
you less than today...
none the less he is that peculiar
and gains nothing either way,
it's just a longtime friend he is
my Siamese cat named Piper.
