My Dear Charlie

Charlie, my dear.

My Dear Charlie
Bodhisattwa Parekh


Charlie was my pet cat.

Dark black velvet skin

With reddish eyes.

At night, he was looking dangerous.



He loved me too much.

When I was at home,

He always belonged with me.

When I was going to the office,

Mainly at night shift,

He came with me until the gate.

Surprisingly, he didn't forget

For receiving me at the gate.

We played the games.

I loved to touch his silky body.

He always slept with me, at my bed.





Suddenly a road accident took his life.

I arranged his resting place.

In my garden, with tears.

Where he loved to spend time.



Many known people advised me

To buy another pet.

But I couldn't.

None can take the place of Charlie.

I pray to God for the departed soul.
