*On the grills the rust
Stands in stark contrast
To your serene eyes
They see it all
Ocean black eyeball
Still hold surprise
Brimming passion
What love in that ocean
Your pleading eyes
It makes me pause
There’s no greater cause
For a passerby
Your gestures bold
Said words untold
Your droopy ear
Ever so keen
To lovingly listen
Holds a stranger dear
You looked at me
With a loving plea
Oh passerby
Greet me awhile
Lend me a smile
For that I die*

They see it all
Ocean black eyeball
Still hold surprise
Brimming passion
What love in that ocean
Your pleading eyes

There’s no greater cause

Your droopy ear
Ever so keen
To lovingly listen
Holds a stranger dear
You looked at me
With a loving plea
Oh passerby
Greet me awhile
Lend me a smile

please see my cover photo. I met this dog while passing by a house in a town far away from my place.
