Wanting, longing, craving, loving, yearning, needing.
Heart beat racing faster and faster,
Only ending in disaster.
Body trembles as hands shake,
Crawling on the floor like a snake.
                      Hope, pray, wish, dream, desire.
Anything will be done to achieve,
To get what is most in need.
Nothing will get in the way,
For what will be a final “hurray.”
                       Begging, pleading, groveling, quivering, trembling.
Falling to your knees,
Looking up towards the trees.
The man walks by,
With a twinkle in his eye.
                        Hope, pray, wish, desire.
The world turns dark,
Living in a world with a shark.
Cannot run, cannot hide,
The man takes you for a ride.
                        Wanting, longing, craving, loving.
The mind takes flight,
As the man goes into the night.
The stars shine,
Nothing helps the mind.
                         Hope, pray, desire.
The man returns from darkness,
Bringing the harness.
It’s a hefty price to pay,
Nothing need be say.
                         Begging, pleading, groveling.
The blood is cold,
The skin cannot hold.
Everything is at stake,
Tomorrow may not awake.
                      Hope, desire.
Needle ****** the skin,
Patience running thin.
Bruises show from times past,
The rush will come fast.
                      Begging, pleading.
Loved ones have slowly vanished,
Alone forever and banished.
Heart stops beating,
Eyes stop seeing.
                       Desire.

Man’s best friend,
Her years came to end.
Born in winter,
Passed in summer.
Small but fast,
Refusing to come in last.
Dog shows here and there,
Running away to give me a scare.
Playful and full of energy,
From nothing she would flee.
Picked out from brother and sister,
Only one to play with me from the litter.
My dog was a great Siberian Husky,
My dog was named Zoe.
Her eyes were blue,
Her spirit was true.
White, gray and black fur,
Fetch was not for her.
Summer she relaxed in her pool,
Winter she ran around like a fool.
Old and sick she became,
Only time to blame.
Childhood companion to teenage friend,
To the vet I had to send.

My dog was named Zoe.
