walking to meet my lover in the dark
a lecherous crescent moon smiles at me over the bare muddy fields
elemental evening, the trees know...
usually they discreetly murmer and whisper
tonight they are singing love songs at full throat
the wind whistles a love song

i wait on the bridge for her
but can't stand still
into the black shadows i eagerly walk
no doubts as to the impossibilities of our situation
love courses thru me,
the world knows the gift we have discovered
maybe we should only take small bites of feelings this potent

in dog years i turn seven this year
the numbers of her age add up to seven starting tommorrow
it all adds up to mean im her love dog
loyal to her love til the end of time and beyond

why did it manifest itself in us?
why does it matter?
its tangible, its intoxicating,
its as wonderful as i can ever remember feeling
love songs all make sense to me now

the sun has never shined so brightly

and if this is just a coincidental global warming side effect
that's ok with me
at least i found love before the world came crashing down

ill face the apocalypse with laughter

ive tasted the food of the gods

some day ill taste it again
seared into my memories
a taste of forever
two or three hours at a time
