Narcissus The Great Cat

I am Narcissus The Great Cat

My planet is my private universe with my own solar system

I demand that you be my subject and my slave under my feet

You must always greet me first before your slave dog

You are required to pay me full attention once you enter our castle

You will echo my love to myself and nobody else

You will push all others to the background as shadows

Just to make me the only one under the spot light

At the center of the stage showing off my grandiose walk and trot

Expecting your enormous praise and admiration

I shall allow you to witness my beauty in some magic moments

When I appreciate my reflections in the mirror sparkling

And my dancing gracefully on the balance bar

You are to comb my hair and caress me when I need some comforting

And you will worship me as your only love and the most precious star

When I get tired of your companionship and attention

You will leave me alone but not completely alone

You are tamed to glorify me when I scratch my itch of curiosity 

I shall then watch in private the butterflies, birds and squirrels out of the window

And meow to grant you no gratitude

S.P. Ma
