"Valentine"

My lips turn up in a smile.
My eyes sparkle.
My heart skips a beat.
My cheeks turn a blush.
My blood is red, instead of blue.
My scent lingers, after I am gone.
My path is filled with roses instead of thorns.
My knees of jelly hold me steady.
My arms spread in a hug.
My voice is soft.
My words are of love.
My whispers are heard by all.
I have one question to ask, yet it so hard to get out.
So I will whisper it softly to the wind.
"Will you be my Valentine, for now and for all time?"

‎"The Unusual Friendship"

A soft purr fills the air, the laugh of a child follows.
Silky fur rubs against a humans leg.
A finger or two scratches softly a furry chin.
The look of content spreads as food, touching and caressing happens.
Love known, Sadness shared and Happiness enjoyed.
The bond forever sealed between them.
Memories recalled to ease the passing of one for the other.
This is the unusual friendship between cat and human.
