My Knight 'Titanium'
Those light blue eyes I still remember,
they'd stare into mine when I was seven,
your touch of silk in crystal white hair,
I'd named you 'Titanium', my silver knight.
We grew up together walking in the woods,
you'd eat soaked bread from a blue cup;
thrilled by sounds of distant trains at night,
we'd stay awake until I snored on your back.
I read next to you while you nuzzled my feet,
your tinkling paws I traced in wet garden,
you sniffed marigold when Spring was near,
I'd chase you to your place with pigeons.
The last Winter together I would never forget,
we ran around fireflies on our little terrace,
you dozed off with me never to wake up again,
that wretched morning passed by but I still cry.
