Puppy Dog

"I'm like a puppy dog, always ready for the fun!"
he crawls toward me panting
then barks
because he is crazy like that
he's a good boy
a good man
a good catch to be sure
I'm mired in petty bitchery
writing poems like they will save
my sad ass
disillusioned as usual with co-workers
and family members
seething with fury on the outside
crying rivers on the inside
his aura is sunshine yellow
mine is moonlight blue
I follow him out of the shadows
faithfully because I love him to death
my polar opposite lover and friend for life
he catches every ball
I throw.
