Can’t Hide the Way I Feel
Sitting here wondering where did I go wrong thought the man that I was with I thought our love was strong and then I met a man the other day swept me off my feet and stole my heart away every time that I’m with you I think of him white shirt blue jeans and some fresh brown Timbs and when you’re working late at night I call him on the phone and when you'r job tells you to fly I invite him to our home.

Sorrowful Howls
In the early morning of my childhood, I can vaguely remember what my eyes saw. But the feelings, the sounds I know well. Crickets singing nature's lullaby. Light rain showers outside the den. Growling rustle of playfulness. My mother's cold, wet nose nuzzling my muzzle. The warmth of her underbelly drawing me in. Suckling the nipple for sweet, sweet milk. Father has returned from the hunt! Shaking away the water droplets. Raw meat...and blood intoxicate the air. My mouth waters; wanting a taste. But I am far too young so I continue to suckle the milk. Ears twitching, brother and sister devours father's kill. Disappointed, I whimper and cry. Mother nuzzles me in tight. Even father lays next. Giving my muzzle a good licking. Yawning, stretching I drift off to sleep... Faintly hearing sorrowful howls.
