yellow eyes gazing

unfazed by your smile

imagines you brazing

on the stove for awhile

creating a feast

mixed with sweet broth and tuna

a greedy little beast

in cahoots with varuna

yellow eyes bouncing

in the air after dark

imagines himself pouncing

like a sly, fluffy shark

you'd better beware

when he closes his eye

cause he'll strike like a bear

when the moons on the rise

A/N

Varuna is the Hindu god of water, the celestial ocean, and cosmic order, also known as Rita. He is a guardian of universal law, upholding truth and punishing moral transgressions. In ancient Vedic texts, he was a powerful sky god who later became more strongly associated with water, the western direction, and the sea.
