Orchids

Orchids in a botanical garden 

Rendered the elegance of roses

Could it be a gift for his lover?

His eyes gazed at its beauty

Inside the bouquet he kept a note

Dear,your smile is mersmerising 

Shy,and natural like this flower!

Last Bottle of Wine

He's on his last bottle of wine,

Enemies are nearing the fort,

Fellow soldiers have fled the scene,

A tactical retreat,

But he's too drunk to move,

He threw the gunpowder

on the wooden tower,

He set it on fire,

He offered wine 

to enemy for his life,

They shot him dead
