Let sleeping dogs lie

Momentary peace, momentary silence

Not a single bark or howl to be heard,

It is a time for reflection.

Companionship, frustration

Love, annoyance, comfort.

A partner in crime,

Who never fails to bring a smile.

Unconditional,

Undying,

A partner in life.

Crisp

Crisp, cold, bone chilling.

My breathe is the only thing I can see.

Where is the warmth found,

Under a wool blanket,

Or next to a freshly stoked fire?

Those only warm the skin.

Heat is what is I need.

The type of heat that is rare,

The type of heat found in your arms.

Your heat warms not just the skin,

But my heart and soul.
