Beneath a parapet of color rich and bright
the shiny sidewalk beckons me to come
closer to his revels closer to his warm caress,
As the rainy afternoon remises light
two mesic hearts begin to drum
in keeping with the rhythm of love's guess
The red umbrella shades us from the world
and keeps the rain at bay while we adhere
devoted to each other we find spark
inside an afternoon of dance and swirl
The old cafe gives witness to our near
as Benjy marks his loyalty with bark
The scent of petrichor feels clean and fresh
as we get lost within our love's embrace
the clasp undoes and we are winded in
pressed soft against each other's flesh
desirously we poise standing face to face,
he tastes like tonic with a splash of gin.

He has long floppy ears
and a shrill little bark.
And he loves to go
for a walk in the park.
A wet nose, big brown eyes
and four little paws.
He loves and adores me
in spite of my flaws.
I don't need to hide behind
a thinly veiled disguise,
since I'm a perfect person
seen through his eyes.
I think of him as
my sweet little Benjy boy.
Adopting him into my home
has brought me so much joy.
He must have been sent to me
by an angel from above,
so that I could know what it's like
to feel tail-wagging love.
