Besides blogging, I also enjoy writing poetry. Let me know what you think…

 

A boy, his dog, and a lighter:

While he sits there, the golden dog on his lap has its ears pointed toward the ground

A slight sigh escapes its nostrils

A boy with dark hair and a sphinx-like look in his eyes sits gazing at the floor across from me

A look of wonder splashes across his angelic face

The golden dog pushes its body closer against the dark-haired boy

Suddenly, a smile of pleasure breaks his lips

At that moment, the lighters light hits his face, and I wonder if I could love this dark-haired boy any more than I did there and then

The truth is, I can and will.
