My poor, dear darling’s dog lies dead;
No more need he be fussed or fed.
She heard the news from source down south,
Where blood had bled from Dylan’s mouth.
The day she left to come to me
Was last time she would ever see
His face, or watch his faithful form
Look up from basket, waking warm.
I met him once while on a walk.
Was at the time she could not talk
To me, at least, she had agreed,
But love must satisfy its need!
And so we wandered for an hour;
She’d left her husband in the shower,
But would not let me near to kiss;
We parted, but we knew we’d miss
Each other, if apart too much;
And that we’d have to keep in touch.
And so we did: in love we’d fell;
This made her man play merry hell!
He kept her dog, their son, their house,
Since she could not remain his spouse.
Together, we BOTH paid a price;
For love you have to sacrifice!
She was not there for Dylan’s death,
To see him breathe his final breath.
While I; I got to keep a cat,
Whose death, well, I’ll get over that!
My poor, dear darling’s dog lies dead;
He’s buried near the garden shed
Of house she used to call her home
Before love’s longing made her roam.

A story of love despite situations so complex that only love could find a way - - now with a loved dog gone too this lament will touch the heart of every reader Kevin. Love's longing is indeed powerful.
Thank you, Fay. I appreciate your taking the time to read my poor little poem. Sadly, a true story, but we are married now and the waters have calmed for us. I won't be showing Lorraine this poem though. She may see it as being in bad taste, or simply get upset. Again, thanks for stopping by. 😊
Kevin,
I wholeheartedly agree with Fay! I do feel very sad that Dylan is gone...unlike your love for Lorraine! The two of you were destined to be together! It was worth all the sacrifices both of you had to make! Enjoy and celebrate your love for one another!
