Five Pairs of Cat's Eyes

Five pairs of cats eyes
Beautiful and bright
Hypnotic by day
Eerie by night

Two like warm peaches
No fur to be seen
A manifestation
Of a cat lover's dream

One with Black fur
To the others she's linked
All the same breed
The unusual sphynx

Five rough tongues licking
Only two touching fur
Five cats sat grooming
A deafening purr

One has some fur
but none on his back
Amazing blue eyes
In a face almost black

One stands alone
No particular breed
Loving and soft
Is all that I need

Five pairs of cats eyes
Are closed now in sleep
The emotions they arouse
Are loving and deep
