to keep the love alive within me

like that extra push on my back
to get me closer when hugging
or cuddling me close when i turned
when we were sleeping

or that one time outside port authority
with the cop cars lined up behind us
you pushed me all the way back into a wall
and made out amidst a hundred people walking

or leaning on each other's backs
on the carpet by the fireplace
passing each other the glass of whiskey
talking about life on a fall evening

remember that one time in walgreens
when I was walking around to find you
you jumped out of the aisles to startle me
we ran of there arms in arms and laughing

finishing chores and doing groceries
sharing a song, watching a movie
little things i didn't know then
gave me a lifetime of memories

Such a lovely poem. You just inspired me to do a rejoinder.

like the extra dog buiscuit you give me
after i finish a bowl of purina chowder
you will be loved even without the treat
although i must admit it is quite delicious

or that time
when you hid the book called
puppy-raising for dummies
when i jumped on the bed
as if i'd consider you less
otherwise ...
no not at all, i also read the book
and believe me
it is all cock and bull

remember that one time
when i discovered
my erogenous zones
and started mounting pillows
you took me to the clinic
fixed me all up
and offered me ice cream
as it was a fair tradeoff

yes i love you
and hate you occasionally
but nothing will stop me
from waving my tail
and being your best friend

you don't have to do much
to keep the love alive within me

by the by, you have given me
a lifetime of memories
