Snow Leopard

Calm and cool snow cat; colder more than keen,
contemplates the cat to remain unseen.
Laughing on it’s weaker folly, unaware.
Amusing, because the weaker one would care.
Strangely attracted Leopard cat by weakness,
no way competing with his strong and solo sleekness.
Fondly how he gazes on this fragile freak
and yet, by nature hating anything that’s weak.
Moving to malinger, closer on his folly’s queen,
contemplates the cat to remain unseen.
Reflecting on the world and every generation’s fear;
beware the rich veined, rabied deer!
But if closer, he might seize his folly’s whim.
if closer he could hold that gentleness within.
Quietly approaching, he only wants to feel,
but the brightness of his coat, almost unreal,
Startling! Fragile feelings break apart!
Please no! And pouncing, he crushed the heart.
