My Best Friend

My alarm bark
Every morning
We're on the deck
Then back inside

My best friend
I love you more
Tail wagging
Unconditional love
You gave me more

My protector
I know that bark
A warning to all
Someting isn't right

My best friend
I love you more
Tail wagging
Unconditional love
You gave me more

My foot warmer
You sat by me
Content and happy
Just to be there

My best friend
I love you more
Tail wagging
Unconditional love
You gave me more

My listener
You heard me
Tell those stories
Time and again

My best friend
I love you more
Tail wagging
Unconditional love
You gave me more

Introduced to Claim

I remember first noticing,
The mysteriousness...
Of a flower blooming.
The whiskers on kittens.
And a puppy's wagging tail.

I remember wondering,
How God made thunder!
Who and what was crying when it rained?
And when the Sun appeared,
A rainbow came with vivid colors I could name.

I remember walking near a pond,
And watching a frog hop out.
I then became quite curious.
Since I was told,
Only in ponds ducks swam about.

And as I grew older,
I loved to be among the trees.
When the seasons for me began to change,
In New England...
I thought as a child,
Mother Nature was doing this just for me.

I remember first noticing,
The mysteriousness...
Of a flower blooming.
The whiskers on kittens.
And a puppy's wagging tail.

Today as I age...
That same curiosity,
Seems to have remained.
With something new on my journey,
Introduced to claim!

At The End

in the ocean of
mercies
it is only you and the
dog
on the boat
fused are your visions
on a wagging
tail
on a tongue
hanging
on the air.

The street dog

I was drinking tea
Suddenly a street dog came
Wagging tail and head;
He wanted some food to eat
By his body language!

At That Minute You'll Smile Or Maybe Cry

When you stand before deity
will your dog stand at the right hand
to give judgement?
Will your dog speak, wagging its tail
of love
and caring
concern
and play
and did you worry when he was ill?
Or will he stand there trembling
tail hung low
speaking of abandonment,
pain and beatings,
being left alone,
no one to play with,
empty food dishs,
empty water bowls
for days. The sadness?
Which will your dog tell?

The Dog And The Man

you know
the dog that meets
you at the gate
of the house
wagging its tail
jumping to
embrace you
and follows you
towards the
kitchen
and sits just below
the table
when you dine
alone

it is a question
between the two of you
as the dog
pushes itself
to the level
of the beloved.

For Donna

when he
left you
and you
lose your
mind

when the house
get so
damn lonely

when you
finally decide
to come home

the same
white dog
waits for
you
by the door
wagging
its tail
for its
only master

An Exploration

just seeing birds
migrating or
sailing with a friend
to a new land
elated by the wagging
of a dog's tail
a hammock world
rocking
all about a movement
a hum

this more to all these
there is
this whisper of the ear
to the eye

there is more to
the sound of
content,

there is more to sorrow
than joy.

Just A Friendly Small Dog

Just a small brown and white jack russell with a stub for a tail
Yet when it comes to trust and loyalty his master he never fail
One who will never know of canine renown
Yet to his mentor he is the best dog in the town
With a ball or a stick he loves for to play
Just a friendly terrier friendly in every way
Yet his master with his life he'd defend
'Tis true what is said of a four legged friend
Respect for his master in love and devotion he does pay
At the gate to greet him home from work every day
With wagging stumpy tail and an excited bark
As if to say master take me to fetch ball in the park
Just a friendly small dog with a stump of a tail
But when it comes to devotion and loyalty he never does fail.

An Old Dog

an old dog
stays guarding the house
waiting for me
not wagging its tail
it is dead

it is this sense of waiting and
belonging
it is this that gives
the door mat
its meaning

In America the schools have become too permissive, the kids now are controlling the schools, the tail is wagging the dog. We've got to make a change there and get it back to where the teachers have control of the classrooms.

Tiger By The Tail

What a shock it was so surprising
You looked so small and frail
I didnt know what to do
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
People said that you must be joking
You let emotions run away with you
I realized a little too late
I bit off more than I could chew
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
Sometimes you grip it right
And sometimes you fail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
At times life can be so enlightening
But it can turn on you
Lately it gets so complicated i
I dont know what the tiger will do
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
Sometimes you grip it right
And sometimes you fail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail
Sometimes you grip it right
And sometimes you fail
I grabbed the tiger by the tail

Come To Me

Come to me
While Im sleeping
So their wagging tongues
Might not find you, my love
All the while
They lie down
[Ill let a so sweet]
For Ill die for my love
So stop this night so strong
That I will remember
And have it ever after
Come to me
While Im sleeping
So their wagging tongues
Might not find you, my love
[interlude]
Come to me
End my dreaming
So their wagging tongues
Might not find you, my love
round the corner
Back of hands
Theyll still be talking
Whether or not wed ever
Whether wed ever, my love

Know your friends

They're there to break your spirit
Any rumours going, they're in it
Embellished tales even though they're your kin
No restraint as they commit sin after sin
Ostracised..lonesome you
Life's so short, they've nothing better to do
A cold nose, wagging tail
Solace again comes to your aid
Honesty and integrity built in
The best friend you could ever want
They only wish to others you would grant.

Ibises

The golden cocker spaniel
tried to catch some sacred ibises
where they were pecking
the ground
for snails and earthworms

and they were flapping
their huge wings
and screaming in rage
while they got airborne

and the small dog
came back to me
wagging the stump
of its snipped off tail
as if reporting back
that it had done its duty.

Love never lost

We all have lovers of those that we love.
A cold nose then kisses
A warm carress.

From you Jackie, it sends,
A message to tell,
I am loved.

Through the trials and tribulations of my youth.
My play and pleasure that I brought you.

The comfort we gave each other in life.
Through teardrops and laughter.

These memories will last a lifetime.
Love Me.

We go to heaven too.
So with tail a wagging I'll wait on you.

My last bone

I have welcomed death, his gaze
his thoughts, his valentines day kiss
his black tulips pressed against
my blood filled lustful lips

Death is not my foe, we are bed fellows
toe to toe, I am the prairie
he is a prairie dog, loyal and honest
when I am lost; he leads me home

But with wagging tail I'll savour
and unearth my last bone!

The Puppy and Me

A puppy was next door; I poured all my love.
The puppy grew warm, her tail wagging a little,
That made me warm, my spirit in glow.
Out of sight she went, yet threw her glances,
That made her absence a balm, not a scar.
That day she turned her back, her tail drooping,
That killed my spirit; I am free of sore.

A viewer lost the vision of a dancer
When the light failed. He is disturbed.
A listener lost the voice of a singer
When the mike went off. He is disturbed.
When the performer herself is off
The stage, with no third force to disturb,
The audience simply vacates the place.

I love the puppy for her pleasure;
I leave it when it loses pleasure.
Palakkad,20.02.2000.
