There I'd rub
and there I'd purr,
as I'd snuggled
up to her. 
 

But then alas, 
it was not to be-
as it came to pass,
she was not for me.

 
But I got up 
and I moved on.
Why should I stop
from what's beyond?

These two poems (above and below) were written together,
 so DESTINY is sort of a continuation of THE PLACE WHERE I'D PURRED.
DESTINY
 (AKA THE THINGS THE FUTURE HOLDS) 

They could be marvels, 
They could have beauty,
They could be parcels
Comprised of duty. 
 

They could be good,
They could be bad, 
They could be happy, 
They could be sad. 
 

They could mean love,
They could mean hate,
They could mean all, 
or Just one date.
 

They could mean life,
They could mean death. 
They could mean strife,
or Even worse yet- 
But even if so,
it's still for me. 
For who am I to know 
my destiny?
