Love Dogs

Love Dogs

Yesterday was heavy with the suns dance trance.

A play of indolence set to languid music.

Today, the sky is made up in bright glitter

and sparkles light footed

free of any care

but this ballet of dancing air.

We get up late

to wild greetings from love dogs.

Love has written me a blank check to day,

and Her storehouse is full of Her best clothes.

The whole world is breaking out of fear's jailhouse.

And the love dogs are barking for attention.

The jailer awakes

to find himself running away

looking for a breakout

he could never have planed so perfectly.

It's getting hard to see where this love begins and ends.

The walls came tumbling down

when I gave up singing hymns to the One

and started blowing kisses from those ruby lips

that She has painted in the form fields

with invisible lipstick.

>From puppy love to hard core surrender

takes a reckless old dog but an instant.

Just one lickitysplic holler of wonder

from a forgotten prayer-bone

and he forgets his old tricks

and makes up new rules for this love game.

Today, is a spine tingling chatter,

a soap opera for lively drunks.

If you see where God comes in and goes out

you still need the hair of the dog that bit you.

If your junk is overflowing,

stay as a junkyard dog for while

until the refuse refuses

to be left out in the cold any longer.

Intuitively old embers become bonfires.

Elephants return to their graveyards

burst into fire fly’s and dance free.

Seek out the bloom in the cell

which is your signal to bust loose.

And burn this place down about your ears.

For years we've been waiting for this Love

never guessing it was surging in our veins

like fire looking for a way to burn,

to blaze this paper thin tissue up into praise.

When the love dog howls to come inside

you had better let him out.

Love dogs are crazy and sleep on the threshold

itching for love bites from their own love paws.

They are dog gone, and wag Gods tail relentlessly.

Everyone finds their own key

under the mat where the love dog dreams

and then unlocks the Universe.

love
