But, whom to adore?
I dwell into me.
I see them;
they are all near me.
But, whom to adore?
Rats and the Rabbits,
Cats and the Canines,
Crows and the Nightingales,
Vulpines and the Cows.
Not so soft as Rabbits are the Rats.
And not so nasty as the paws of the Rats.
As captive as the nostalgia,
cuddling cats are the charming,
but not adorable as the darling Dogs.
I loose my trails by
those mesmerizing Nightingales.
Whispers of love are in the airs.
As tender she is, as callous are the Corvus.
Happiest ones are the Herbivorous,
and a pinch won't bother them;
unlike Vulpines.
You might vex them for a life.
I dwell into me.
I see all of them.
But Monkeys are plenty,
and Homosapiens are the few.
