When he looks at me,
His cinnamon eyes read my soul;
Our personal conversations are silent…
He belongs to another.
He will nonchalantly look for me
as he goes about his day.
I walk too close sometimes just to touch him.
He senses my distress
and shows concern in subtle ways.
He has an impossible Greek name
that trips on my tongue.
I love him but
He belongs to another.

GORGEOUS! We have a Belgium Sheppard with cinnamon eyes. I fear, though, to write a poem about him…. he’s already too vain!

Ahhhh, nope, which made it even better! It was like a burlesque dance; the tease and then the slow reveal. A million points! My first thought was of a secret office love, but then i remembered you are more than just happily married…. got me hook, line and sinker!
