happy reddish goldie
flirting with smiles
beautiful rippling coat
sigh, gorgeous styles

immediately cooed “i love you”
as i gave head rubs and strokes
you paw-patted back on me
felt your affection, bespoke

honored when they turn around
to receive back, butt scratchies
joyfully their tail sweeps the floor
happiness and love, matchies

sundays

rolling up
waves say ‘sup
slip off shoes
sand i choose
always bliss
ocean’s kiss
sunny day
all is ohhhkay…
<3

pics of pup
with blushes of pink
from my lipstick kisses
on you, little link
🐶💋

ode to us postal
you sweet derpy service
confuseme web sites
with fuzzy costs, nervous.

i’m trrrrrying
but i don’t understand
how others navigate
while i sink in quicksand.

it feels bleak in person
with two kiosks broken
probably tired
from inflation woken.

but remember when orange
tried to pull out mailboxes
to fix the race
but the post outfoxed this?

because of that
i esteem the usps
weary and worn
and still this nation’s best.
:)

i’m tired…
will persevere,
caring for the pups.
their lives,
hold dear,
filling my life cup.

the only creatures
i feel safe with –
in a funny ironic way.
for when i let them in,
my heart breaks
in poignant painful display.

will keep going for the pups
navigating this heartfelt deed.
and gratefully have aloha trips ahead
to take dogs out in need.
xo

link i miss you
and your sharing of toys
we play and we wrassle
our pastime of joys

what do you think of
when i give you your gifts
with your snout in my bag
to find more, with sniffs

i’m touched when you stay
after a day of play
snoozing on my bed
close to me you lay

in the morning you jump up
and burrow into me
you are my treasure
ty for love’s clarity.

no cutie today
in a passing way
felt extra cute
didn’t get to slay
buuut that’s okay
still felt so free
maybe tomorrow
cutie will see me
😊

cotton candy toes
my girly treat for today
little flecks of joy
💅🏼

puppy link
diamond eyes
heart nose
black bean toes

triangle ears
fluffy snout
soft paws
chompy jaws

unbridled glee
when it’s we
spinning round
for scratches abound

you’re my heart
from the start
fluffer boo
i love you :)

dogs are perfect
and so are pigs
domesticated to love
their awareness, big
nesting and decorating
with flowers and things plush
appreciating beauty
in the simple and lush
playful, sweet
pure little things
i wish them peace
from the pain we bring :(

p.s.

i do wish you calm,
and strength and love,
to vanquish your demons,
that linger above.
in time the hurt may dampen,
or maybe not.
but i appreciate your remorse,
for the things you thought.
sometimes it still stings,
the flashbacks here and there,
but i will remember the times,
you did your best to care.

i sometimes get nostalgic
for little moments we’ve had
living in college cornfields
cozy in 90s plaid
memories tinged with poignance
dissonance intertwined
feverishly giddy
and naive with rosy blinds.
endless youthful calls
on hard plastic phones
from dusk to dawn we spoke
in quiet long distanced tones.
.
.
and sometimes i wish
i had childhood love-guidance
to know that things weren’t quite right
with our young love alliance.
i didn’t question, the burden on me
expected to care for –
without reciprocity.
grateful i suppose,
for a less than ideal
my unseen electric fence
of coping and feels.
.
.
the endurance of two
is not a measure of success
nor quality and joy
to overcome sharp distress.
people can change, maintain and regress
we experienced that all
and our hearts felt the stress.
some people break so hard
they become a masked beast
consuming angrily and furiously
a stranger whose care momentarily ceased…
.
.
the darkness has lightened
and i’m planting new seeds
of live-laff-and-loves
to nourish my needs.
this is my monomyth!
and i’m swish-swash-buckling my way
into my renaissance
so i need not regret the day.

linky i miss you
the usual news today :)

your carefree runs
and blissful face
when you’re out to play.

love singing to you,
thinking of you,
sharing my love true…

thank you for loving me back
my little life snack
you fill my heart anew

lol i saw you and said hey
threw peace instead of a wave.
what the hell was i doing,
my-excite-makes-me-fooling
but a hey-wave back,
moment intact
and thx! it made my day.

bouncing to the beat beat beat beat
<pause>
dancing in the heat heat heat heat
<pause>
we’re dancing and swaying / shouting and slaying,
<wait>
queen bey is saying…
<hush>
feel good, feel love, feel life, feel now.
we’re here, let’s cheer, no fear, be proud.
beautiful people… love and be loud!
<pause>

sometimes i think of you
and miss our little sparks.
subconscious twinkling knowing smiles
with flirty looks and larks.

the times you sensed my sadness,
and spent time with me to soothe,
cherishing those moments of love.
that lifted my hurt moods.

i know it was a complication –
our timing, point and space,
though i think we were meant to ripple then,
to look at life in the face.

maybe it’s true we’re messengers
for others and ourselves in time.
and what we choose to do with this –
me – reflected to find my sublime.

for this i’m glad we had our brush,
though sad you had to ghost.
i wonder if/when you think of me,
you also, will miss me most.

hi handsome dark blue
on what side do you play?
i’m only asking, really,
because i’m a little infatu-ay.

you’re split down the middle
(a compliment, i promise)
but clouds my clarity
vacillating and self-conscious.

sometimes you’re a dark sea
a deep thrum of being
and other times you’re springy
cracking jokes and freeing.

what are you concealing
with your limited expressings?
little glimmers of insight
in too quick of passings

i hope sometime
our currents conflux
it seems we have coherence
a connection with some luck
🌊

whowhatwhenwherewhy?
asks the little goblin princess,
sitting atop her tiny bridge.
alas it’s the toll to cross,
her riddles infinite.

she ponders and giggles
at responses received;
ah, love being an auntie to this goblin
(and i’m so glad i’m child-free)

<giggles>
”why?”
🤭

dusky pink purples & blues,
frame a pale sunday moon.
sudden black birds fly forth,
animating lines and dots.
continue my steady coast
towards a fading horizon,
embracing and freeing
this exquisite vignette,
wishing for many more
to come.

shiny green silk strands
across sweet gold cobblestones
last tastes of summer
