Puppy's pleading and glum glimmering eyes,
Little white teeth trying to stop the one who's leaving,
But who's going to tell the one who's leaving that without him the world is less,
Less colours,
Less laughter,
Less smiles,
Less shine,
Only a dull and grey world.
The puppy held on to the man’s leg with all his strength,
The man kept his distance and the pup at length.
The pup cried, the agony of its voice
Cannot change the man's choice
Of leaving
And deceiving
The poor pup
And
The poor puppy love.
to look at her each day I went,
saw her first when she paid me rent,
staring at her was time well spent,
……so near yet so far!
should have proposed that very day,
my dad said what I could not say,
she now loves me motherly way,
….. and yet here we are!

I will love you until you can feel, hear
And fully comprehend my intentions.
It's not puppy love. It's about dedications.
I love you with an incredible passion, dear.
I'm serious and dedicated to our relationship.
I'll stop loving you until the rooster stops singing.
Is this clear? I will never quit loving you, darling.
Hence, you shall remain the captain of my ship.
The roo, the cock will never stop singing coco-rico,
Therefore, I will never stop loving you dear coucou.
Love must always be a two-way street with a rainbow
Where each angel plays a lute, a flute or a bamboo.

Lily Bug the Mighty Pug
Lily bug the mighty pug,
All 13 months and 15 pounds of,
Just goes to show the unbridled
Power of nature
Supremely confident
Maniacally enthusiastic
Without a clue of her limits
And adorably cute.
But perhaps most importantly is a hint
Of the joy and love
That resides in the heart
Of Life, all life,
Large and small, simple and complex
Resides as part of our nature
Ready, and always eager,
To shine.

“Sweet puppy love he does impart-
that flows out from his giant heart!”
_by Poet
Our grandson has a very special pet
who's nine months old, and such a loving one!
If you could see him, surely you'd forget
he's still a puppy wanting to have fun!
He might outpace you on a morning run;
then on your lap, he spreads out long and wide.
One hundred pounds already, and not done;
sweet Bernese Mountain Dog stands tall with pride!
But, how big will he get? I ask myself, wide-eyed.
Man’s best friend passes loyalty test
Also best friend of girl in tan dress
A warm wet nose black eyes confess
He follows where she goes nevertheless
When she cries he whimpers too
Her laughs and sighs inspire him to
Waiting by the door when she is in school
Puppy love amour is a girl and her pooch
My first crush - Donny Osmond
Puppy Love Eyes
Never over, puppy love eyes;
Pudding melting has no lies.
Eyes stand up, beg for one thing;
Without pudding, could be no offspring.
Puppy Love belted out; I melt.
I grew up and true love knelt.
I can only hope
To one day be,
As loyal to you
As you are to me.
You're always here,
And will be
Till the very end.
I never have to question
Your motives
Or intentions.
You are comfort,
You are protection,
And your constant admiration
Never tires me.
You've taught me
Life's hardest lessons—
Patiently, without aggression.
Your heart is pure,
A true example
Of what love—
Real love—should be.
More than just
A companion,
Something I can’t
Entirely fathom.
You leave me always asking,
"Who am I,
That you would treasure me?"
How is it
That this canine
Shows so much more
Of the divine
Than many of us
In humanity?
Everything I could
Ever need.
And have you ever stopped
To see—
If you did, you’d realize:
God is just Dog
Spelled backward.
Now, that’s what I call
True irony.
The first, they say, is "puppy love",
You can't be certain how you feel.
How can a heart as young as yours
Decide if what it feels is real?
A heart can age but not grow wise;
Wisdom may not come with years.
And where's the proof that older eyes
Cry more or even wetter tears?
Age shouldn't dictate when you love,
Just trust your heart to lead the way,
And leave it up to love to prove
That it won't lead you far astray.
Love can be real and no less pure,
Even if it has no past.
Each time I fall in love I'm sure
It's for the first time and the last.
The cute little blushes,
every time we look at each other,
every time our friends tease us together.
The blood that rushed into my cheeks,
every time I think of you.
It's going to get me into trouble at home.
The way my smile lights up my face,
Even when we talk or look at each other,
whilst passing by.
My flushed cheeks,
while reading poetry,
that reminds me of you.
The happiness that creeps onto my face,
even when I write about you.
All this makes my heart ache,
begging us to not mess this up.
All of this teasing and smiling,
keeps my hopes up.
The cute little blushes and the gorgeous gorgeous smiles!

Esteem
Dancing in the junior high gym
Liking someone not talking to them
Least your secrete be taken and displayed
If heart is for breaking with egg on face
Little teal touch by a sweaty hand
Old enough to love too young to understand
A kiss as a promise to walk you through
All the drama of junior high school
There’s teen pregnancy and I won’t judge
But it won’t be me cuz I won’t give it up
Yet I will follow my heart and find
Puppy love rarely last a long time.
Just a little puppy lying here
Carefully I try to appear
So irresistibly dear
Trying for sad look
That is always a good hook
maybe I can bring out a tear
Take me home,, I will be such a dear
With sisters and brothers lying here beside
It makes it so hard to decide
Pick me, pick me ,we all start to cry
Even as your hands lift me up so high
This I done know
With my tongue I try to show
I already love you
I really do
I am so glad you picked me
Won't regret it you will see
Made me so happy I could cry
I'll be so good, at least I will try
We are all cute as can be
The verb "hate" can never be
My darling, in my vocabulary
I can only love you night and day
I can only think of you all day long
I can only dream of you and long
For your presence at midday
When the bells are ringing
When the birds are singing
Gleefully on the branches
Near the sumptuous ranches
I can simply love you, my dear
Please come now, over here
Over there, much closer
Over here, much nearer.

If I were to write you in my heart
I would talk of the beauty
of the bees and flowers
And just like a flower loves the bee
My love for you just gives
I LOVE YOU!!!l
