    Jenny, The Hero

    Image Source: Pexels- lil artsy Sometimes, heroes don’t wear uniforms. Sometimes, they have furs. Sometimes, to show their feelings, They usually purr. Sometimes, they aren’t that beautiful; They have prickling whiskers. Sometimes, they don’t bark to be heard, Cause they are silent saviors. Sometimes, you don’t know if they are heroes, But watch their movements…

  • When My Days Are Numbered

    When My Days Are Numbered

    Fleeting Wish

    If I had the chance to sit with you tonight, I would look you in the eyes, The way I always do,  Whenever I see you smile. If I had the chance to be by your side tonight, I would tell you all the funniest jokes, That would keep you laughing; And I wouldn’t stop…

    Lantern

    I lit an old lantern, its flame dancing softly, casting shadows that move in patterns. I hold it in my hand, lighting my path, slowly.

  • Tea

    Tea

    Tea, in a pot, served in a china cup on a little saucer.  Tea with the bag still in,  It’s cold, but it’s comfortingly so.  There’s bread that’s stale,  It’s dusty, And I’d like to read a newspaper.  It’s a day for sitting crossed-legged on the floor,  It’s always a day to sit crossed-legged on…

  • Back Home, On The Moon

    Back Home, On The Moon

    Sometimes, in the cold autumn nights I embark on a journey towards the moon. To find my way back home, in the heights Where memories linger from a night in June.
