Dogs Don't Have Souls, Do They? By Chuck Wells
I remember bringing you home. You were so small and cuddly with your tiny paws and soft fur. You bounced around the room with eyes flashing and ears flopping. Once in a while, you'd let out a little yelp just to let me know this was your territory. Making a mess of the house and chewing on everything in sight became a passion, and when I scolded you, you just put your head down and looked up at me with those innocent eyes, as if to say, "I'm sorry, but I'll do it again as soon as you're not watching." As you got older, you protected me by looking out the window and barking at everyone who walked by. When I had a tough day at work, you would be waiting for me with your tail wagging just to say, "Welcome home. I missed you. "You never had a bad day, and I could always count on you to be there for me. When I sat down to read the paper and watch TV, you would hop on my lap, looking for attention. You never asked for anything more than for me to pat your head so you could go to sleep with your head over my leg. As you got older, you moved around more slowly. Then, one day, old age finally took its toll, and you couldn't stand on those wobbly legs anymore. I knelt down and patted you lying there, trying to make you young again. You just looked up at me as if to say you were old and tired and that after all these years of not asking for anything, you had to ask me for one last favor. With tears in my eyes, I drove you one last time to the vet. One last time, you were lying next to me. For some strange reason, you were able to stand up in the animal hospital, perhaps it was your sense of pride. As the vet led you away, you stopped for an instant, turned your head and looked at me as if to say, "Thank you for taking care of me. I thought, "No... thank you for taking care of me."

just a random poem in mind
A macrocosm with profused stellar blossom amalgamated with ocean-deep scars and fine quarks, Will it take me light years to venture into the cosmos of you? Most zealously, I admire your existence you are, celestial.

The Man who was Left Behind
In the silence of my heart, a quiet wish does lay. For I wasn't so easily dismissed, or thrown away. The ones I held so dear, in fear of their dismay. Yet, none feared losing me, to my own disarray. I gave my all, in hopes they'd see, A reason to stay, not to flee. But as they turned, setting... read more

War Zone by 🌻
In the realm of romance, there lies a zone, Where hearts may flutter or stay unknown. The talking stage, where guys may tread, In categories their minds are fed. The "Friend Zone" where hopes are slim, But bonds of friendship may still brim. The "Flirt Zone" with teasing light, Where playful... (edited) read more

In the depths of solitude, I find my soul, Lost in the darkness, unable to console. Emotional exhaustion weighs me down, My spirit weary, my heart starting to drown.
