Ode To My Horse

Actually this is no ordinary poem because "Flame" wasn't an ordinary horse.

ODE TO MY HORSE

I looked to the sky
and there I saw a heavenly fire.
Your Majestic beauty caught my eye
I called you my Midnight's Flame.

The fire in you burned
the flame licked the wick
at both ends.
Your carefree style
took you away from me.
my heart broke, I can not pretend.

Four month's is all we had
the time was not spent
in vain.
You went to the Pearly Gates
carrying my spirits;
carrying my name.

I miss my best friend
I miss my would be steed.
I miss you,...
my Midnight's Flame
