Unconditional Love

Warming my body and spirit
I lay reclined, smiling at my godless indulgence.
Had I done this properly
I’d have chocolates beside the lounge.

Homer, having swallowed his dog treat,
Ambled his 80 pounds over and proceeded to climb my body.
Finding a comfortable fit,
He settled and fell asleep.

I lay there filled with the most intense pleasure.
My dog thought it entirely natural
To look for safety and peace
On the stomach of his Alpha.

Trust and love had joined him to me,
He reduced what I would find
An impassable array of social beliefs
To reach the place where love simply “is”.
