a human’s side-kicks adorable companions have dogs, will travel
Rolo leaning on Sadie
This prompt was perfect timing! I had the pleasure of spending last weekend with these two little cuties and their human. It made our business trip much more delightful! Not only were they affectionate and fun to be with, they provided us some free advertising for the business we attended. Many people stopped at our table just to be able to say hi to these adorable creatures! Of course, the people were rewarded with kisses for the attention given.
Rolo and Sadie go wherever my friend Stephanie goes, whether in the office, at home, out on the road traveling across state lines or a short jaunt down the street. They are her constant companions, and seldom are they separated. Both Stephanie and the dogs sense a void when they are apart from each other. I got to witness that first hand. Smiles, coos, baby talk and engagement are what the dogs crave and their companionship is what gets Stephanie through her day. They are like a symbiotic unit, neither doing well without the other. It’s wonderful to see that kind of love and adoration. I’m also glad that they seem to have accepted me into the family.
A tango of emotions in my heart My nervous system runs on high alert and my mind feels like it was struck by lightning Your magnetic force is like rubbing against sharp edges of bad feelings Revelations come rushing in I have had enough
Misused word as it is Boiled in yellow jars for Winter keeping Yet without transparence, instead, smoke Succulent mystery, preserved in silent hem As the smell of furrier and clay pigeon Stays memories close to their pinching garter These spent years darkling, indivisible Poured too fast, some too slow, caution A girl without hat in cyclone Your hot fingers inhabit me, I belch recollections As stars discovered when rain clouds part So your claim, a thin chain around my throat Never let go, whispered as we both, sank Stones in our mouths, plum forgotten in haste I possess scripture in my chest, atonement Rings my eyes in manic luster, you swoop Past the sun, eclipsing need to breathe nor swallow I turned to the tread of you on my neck Staring up at bare branches slick with nectar Finding your lips on mine, rapt plunging claim Of your hands running electric across years I’d you’d carved me open, I’d offer no less This steaming pained need, unquenchable Set in annul, your black eyes roave the expanse of my heart Yes, I breathe, yes I cease Against the shore you wash against, sore inside for your ruthlessness Misused word as it is Pull the string, smother light, kneel low Here … Here … Yes.
they leave and leave and leave and leave again until we stop caring about their absence (and presence) and learn to live in the home they abandoned without thinking twice
in that one moment adoring me lovingly didn’t know it would end
We were good, we were gold Kinda dream that can’t be sold We were right ’til we weren’t Built a home and watched it burn
Mm, I didn’t wanna leave you I didn’t wanna lie Started to cry but then remembered I
