LOVE

The longing look in your eye's brook
makes me feel worthwhile
 you make me smile.
with your crazy antics
 you pant as if
 you have traveled the world round
 in leaps and bounds
to have me found
 with you around
I am on safe and sound
I feel I can go an extra mile
 for your cause
 you make me pause ...
 for a little while
 you take off my mind
from  life's daily grind
from endless chores

and give you all the attention

 you can change the wind's course
and blow out the tension
when you come to me to cuddle
 your soothing caress and soft embrace
makes me forget trouble
you are magical
just a wet lick can do the trick
when you lovingly whine
 and rub your nose against mine
clothe me like a cloak
with your shiny white coat
you make me feel sunny warm
 our bodies become one
 like the moon eclipses the sun either way we cant be torn
we shield one another from harm
 such is your charm!

My Life

The summer of my life

Heat singes under my skin

Like the edge of a knife

The insatiable thirst turns worst

Endless days and seamless night

Times are always strife

Unable to find meaning of my life

I always feel like

Turning back to spring

The younger days of my life

When I had everything

I was groomed with

Tiny spells of rain showers

I was in full bloom

with little or no concern

The path laden with a soft carpet of flowers

Has gone too soon!

But there’s nothing but autumn

And the winters inevitable doom

A patch of darkness cloud my eye

When my hair will begin to grey

As the sky

My skin will wither

Like the petals and leaves

I stand listless like the leafless trees

Waiting to be free!

And when I have reached my prime

It will begin to snow

And I shall cease to be

In the snowy blanket of time

But life will continue to grow

Like a green carpet above me

What have I to learn?

What I yearn?

I do not know? Do you?
