At the table
once again
with my beloved
my constant companion
to many morning pages and poetic paths
my keeper
of joy, love and random inspiration
my runner of hot laps
grand golden tail proud and curling
as he would sashay his way
over the obstacle course du jour
while my words hobbled behind
today
I watch you
resting
in the warmth
of the cruel autumn sun
a deeper sadness
than I have ever known
wash over
me
watching
The clouds cast shadows
over your gilded glowing
silhouette
knowing
your stay is not long
and not knowing
my place
in this world
without you
Sir Wordsworth
how my words fail me
so I call on
every memory
every minute
from the moment
you chose me
... late night operas
...rooftop strolls
...laser and da bird jumps up the wall
...under the covers
...on my legs (and shoulders)
...stealing my French fries
...and peanut butter toast
...giving kisses and insisting kisses in return
...all the brushes, all the time
and love
always and forever
thank you for choosing me you have made my life beautiful and full of wondrous joy
