Why do feel this warm feeling

This small jolt in the stomach

Whenever

I see you

Is it a sickness?

No, it’s the effects of love

I long to run with you across the plains

To brush against your smooth, hard flank in play

Or prick an ear to the cadence of your voice

Day by day I let myself be led away from my companions

Even my shoulder friend

To run with you along the wet, golden beaches

Or up on the high lands above the cliff-lined shore

Above us sea birds fly

Herons dive for fish

And the wind blows our fur across our shoulders

Yours sting my shoulder as it blows with the wind

Our eyes lock

Possibilities flash before our eyes

Dancing beneath the full moon

Month time, pups, running together across the plain

When I look into your eyes

I know...I love you
