snapping
at the flying red dragon
fly

Backy
My one and only
My buddy
When I'm lonely

I met you when I was younger
You were my listener
I was scared of dogs
So I was scared of you too

But you were always there for me
So I loved you
I never realized that
Until where I am right now

You were part of our family
And that will always be forever
You keep us safe
You were there for all of us

But I didn't expect
That things would change gradually
Now that you're gone
I feel empty

You were my everything
You were my best pal
I don't know how to live
Without you

I love you buddy
I will always love you
I'll miss you
May you rest in Paradise
And be with God

I love you Backy
Suddenly I feel like a man
singing painfully in love
"When man loves a woman"
hear her sing Yesterday
Lennon–McCartney Beatles.
I've seen seven wonders
of the world in your eyes.
Your sunsets to make me cry.
My moon in all its faces
gives shivers to your spine.
I see beauty in diamonds
synthilating within me
same spell sparkles in thee
afire rubbies of us
reflect radiantly on me.

I am ice cubed frozen
body mind soul cold
a wishful thinking well
pennies for my thoughts?
Oak tree stump my ancient
to willow tree now
has turned.
Tears put out this fire dear
but ambers linger so I write
no Knight may fly your kite
I give myself
everything I got
In love I remain with me.
I trust in self for my courage
to carry on as longing dog
out in the rain alone or in.
  your scorching sun hear me
crying and howling
out I love thee so..

Driving, late, the air is close, the wet contingent of molecules
Gathering across my cheeks, under my eyes.
A dog as white as the moon
Streaks across the road like a fallen star
Sirius descending to earthen night
caressed by a woolen fog, carded by sleepy winds.
The shattered carcass of a bird
crops up from the asphalt
I swerve, leaning against the inertia
the hare's heart spike of my own pulse.
There is a softness to the dark
these small scenes of ghostly death,
a solitude in the hem of night
That somehow feels safer
Than day’s garish glare.

Nabibilang lamang sa aking mga daliri
Ang mga buwan na tiniklupan ng mga ulap
Nang sa’king mga bisig,
Ang yakap mo’y nagmistulang kumot
Sa balat kong sumisigaw sa alat
At anghang ng aking pakiramdam.

Sa titig mo’y ako’y nakalilimot
Na ang pangalan ko’y nagbagong bihis na rin.
At kasabay ng paglilipat silid at bubongan,
Ay ang paglisan ko sa unang tahanang
Humagkan sa aking pagkakakilanlan
At bumuhos sa akin nang di masukat na pagmamahal.

Ang mga ngiti **** pumapawi sa’king paghihintay
Sa maghapong masuklian naman
Ang pansamantala kong pangungulila’y
Nagsisilbing matatamis na tsokolateng
Hindi naman pala nakamamatay.

At sa ganitong pagpatak ng mga segundo
Na parang mga barya sa alkansya mo,
Ang tanging hangad ko na tunay na pag-aaruga’y
Iyong pabaon na araw-araw kong sasalubungin at pagbubuksan.

Nakalimutan ko na rin atang humanap pa ng iba
Di gaya ng panata ko noon sa mga rehas
Kung saan gusto kong kumawala.
Pagkat sa’yo pa lamang ay abot-langit na
Ang aking mga ngiti’t pagsintang
Lulan ng iyong mga hagkan
At walang pag-imbot na pag-aalaga’t pagkukusa.

Kung kaya ko lamang pigilan ang sarili
Buhat sa pagtikom ng aking bibig
Ay nais ko sanang ipagsigawan
Sa apat na sulok ng ating tahanan
Ang pangalan **** ni minsa’y hindi ko naintindahan.

Bagamat sa bawat pagkilos mo’y
Hindi ko maipagkakailang
Ako’y tunay mo ngang mahal at pinakaiingatan.

Hindi na ako manlilimos pa,
Ng pagmamahal o atensyon sa mga tauhang
Lilisan sa kani-kanilang panahon at kagustuhan.
At pipiliin kong masanay na makipagsayawan
Sa mga mata **** tanging lilim ang laan sa akin.

At kung ito man ang una’t huling sulat
Na ikaw mismo ang pumataw ng mga kahulugan
Ay hayaan mo ring masambit kong
Sa araw-araw, ikaw ang nanaisin ko pang makapiling.
Para sa aking amo..

Nagmamahal,
Luna the Frenchie

When my Chihuahua died during the Summer of 2020, I was devastated.
When I had to say goodbye and bury her, it was something that I hated.
At first, I wasn't going to buy another dog because it hurts too much when they die.
But I bought another Chihuahua to try to ease my suffering, that's the reason why.
When I bought Hazel one year ago, I started feeling better.
She's sweet and she loves to lick me and she loves it when I pet her.
I bought Hazel five and a half weeks after my former Chihuahua passed away.
Hazel is my Chihuahua who cost $200 and I bought her one year ago today.
When I lost my former Chihuahua dog, I felt so miserable that it drove me to tears.
Hazel and I are celebrating our first anniversary, I hope that she lives for many years.
DEDICATED  TO HAZEL WHO I BOUGHT ONE YEAR AGO TODAY ON AUGUST 18, 2020

Amputate
His leg
She said so calmly
I thought
Yours first
The veterinary surgeon recommended amputating one of my dog's legs for a non-metastatic growth that is causing him no pain, discomfort, or disability. Uh, no.

You were like a daughter to me and I was like a dad.
Your death was heart-breaking because it was so bad.
I got the idea to call you my baby doll because that was what Mom called her cat.
In August of 2013, my house became your new home and that's where you died at.

It has been one year since you died.
You were a great dog and that can't be denied.
I found you dead in my kitchen at about ten o'clock.
I would've rather had my head bashed in by a rock.

I was very upset and I knew that I wouldn't get any sleep so I stayed up most of the night.
I buried you the next morning and I'm sure that other pet owners can understand my plight.
When a person has a pet that's as special as you, it is sure to please.
I'll never forget you even if I live to be 100 and have Alzheimer's Disease.
DEDICATED TO AGNES (2011-2020) WHO DIED ONE YEAR AGO ON JULY 11, 2020.

ME: I’ve called you all here today to ask you something.
BROTHER 1: [looking sideways at the door]
BROTHER 2: Hmm.
MOM: [smiling widely in that way that says she knows]
DAD: [smiling widely in that way that says he doesn’t]
ME: To be frank, I don’t think you all like each other very much. Is that true?
MOM: [smile gets tighter, hand reaches towards phone]
DAD: No, it’s not. [scratching side of head nervously]
BROTHER 2: Hmm.
BROTHER 1: You all bore me.
ME: We know we do.
MOM: [typing furiously]
[silence punctuated by dog licking his leg]
ME: So, now what?
BROTHER 1: [rolling eyes slowly and obviously] What do you mean, now what?
ME: Well, I mean where do we go from here?
MOM: We don’t. We just stay here or nothing at all.
BROTHER 2: Hmm.
DAD: What else can we do? How do we know doing anything at all would be better?
ME: I am tired of writing poems in my head about us. We have to do something.
[silence punctuated by dog coughing]
BROTHER 1: ******* and your poems. Do you want to hang out?
MOM: I love you all but I can’t stand any of you.
BROTHER 2: Can we be done now?
ME: We’ll never be done.
ALL: We’ll never be done.
