a scrawny piece of fluff
who pissed in the passage 
not knowing whether you were 
dog or baby boy
we rushed for a mop
               your antibiotics were counted in 
    

I'm on the wrong ship

I think I'm starting to realize something.
I'm on the wrong ship,
I guess i didn't think things through
when I came on this trip,
I thought that we had made a bond
love at first sight,
I went to her house, that same day,
was there all night,
When I left I whispered in her ear.
I love you. I felt her body

Faithful Echoes of Love

I’m standing on the deck, coffee in hand,
Three dogs by my side as the rain comes to land.
No thunder, no lightning—just a warm, gentle fall,
To nourish God’s botany, soft blessing to all.

The morning, she rises—I watch the rain fade,
Serenity spills from the colors God made.
As the light is revealed, it quiets my mind,
A rare little

Random Thoughts 3: Night

The solitude of nightfall
Is more bearable 
Than companionship in the light

No Greater Wish than Sweet Companionship

I’ve long since been gone but now I wish to return, if you’ll let me. I was down the thorny path, in the woodchipper, stuck in time, dancing into deed. It’s no match, a man with a curse vs a man with a heart. Its ten to zero, ones not even fighting. We’ve seen the

Enduring Love

I shall not love thee but in summertide,
Nor only in the blush of fragrant spring;
I shall not love thee but when sorrows hide:
To time and tempers all, my heart I bring.

The River

Meet me at the River of Hope,
where everything is achievable
simply by trusting in powers above.

Meet me at the Entrance of Forgiveness,
where we can let go of our wrongdoings
and embrace the bright side of our companionship.

Meet me at the River of Memory,
where we can reminisce about moments shared
and see for ourselves that our life has been

Dog Heaven

(Lada and Pema, 2023)

Dog Heaven

It’s a mid August morning
The time of summer
It all starts to wind down
With the dog days finally behind us.

I sit on the couch
To simply stare out the window
At sprinklers doing their thing
Amid layers and layers of soothing green.

And immediately two of my four dogs join me
The biggest and smallest pushing in

My Silent Companion: A Sonnet for Shadow

In depths of solitude, I stand forlorn,
With shadow as my sole and steadfast friend.
By society shunned, from kinship torn,
I ponder on life's edge, its bitter end.

Upon the bridge, where thoughts of ending bloom,
My shadow's form beside me makes its stand.
This grim moment, midst the gathering gloom,
I gasp, “l'm not alone in this bleak land!”

For shadow's

A Joyous Song of Companionship

The morning sun spills across the porch, casting a golden sheen on everything it touches. There, in a weathered rocking chair, sits a whiskered old man, his face a roadmap of countless smiles and sorrows. Beside him, a white labrador, whose fur almost glows in the light, listens intently. The man's raspy voice, a gentle

Buddies For Life

("Pema", 2022)

Buddies For Life

You and me
We love each other 
Don’t we
Face to face
Cheek to cheek
Side by side
One big 
One small
One short
One tall
Something about 
A boy and his dog
Never grows old

The Dark Ones

The Dark Ones dwell in the midst of various realms, constantly performing despicable deeds of disaster and destruction. 
 Their presence creates an atmosphere of unrest that stifles imagination, obstructs creativity, and discourages production.
 The knowledge of ancient tablets of infinite light has been locked away between the temples and remains hidden from humanity. 

Quest For Companionship

If you quest for a mate, I'll be yours if you abide
Friends and mates, a loop that will never glide.
In close propinquity to one another, we will reside.  
With our motley efforts, we can swivel the tide.
Fused by the bonds of oneness, harmoniously we stride.
On this journey, zeal and passion will be our guide
An

Heavenly Occupation

HEAVENLY OCCUPATION 
What I'll see and do in heaven will soon I know unfold,
As I'm going home shortly and walk those streets of gold.

I never learned to swim while living in this world,
I would like to join the dolphins and view that underworld.

I would like to go through forests and never have to fear

Tell Me

Tell me where the sparrows go
Tell me, tell me where?
To the place where only sparrows know
You will find them there

Tell me when the last star dies
Tell me, tell me when?
When our own sun fails to rise
It will happen then

Tell me who will hold my hand
Tell me, tell me who?
The one who knows and understands
I will
