My Main Man and Me

My main man and me

I wake to a tickling sensation on the back of my neck.
A gentle tap and pull on my shoulder.
He wants me to open my weary eyes.
He sighs and groans into my ear.
I open an eyelid and smile at his gorgeous face.

He talks to me with that husky gruff voice.
He wants to share this sunny summer day with me.
As I get up, he squeaks with joy and runs out into the hall.
It is definitely a day for sunbathing in the garden.
I change and make my way to the lounge.

He is waiting and pounces on me with excitement.
His whole bum wiggles with a shake of his stump tail.
He gallivants straight to our spot in the sun and barks,” Come!”
I get myself settled with my book and shades and look over to him.
He closes his eyes as he rolls onto his back to get some rays too.

After some sweating and panting we decide to get some water.
He follows me into the house with a huge grin on his face.
I make some lunch while he crunches away on his carrot.
I eat in silence, breathing in the jasmine and watch him.
He chases the bumblebees that dare to fly in his jungle.

As I sit and ponder the inner workings of my mind, he lies by my feet.
I look at this being who understands me so well.
His Cleopatra eyes stare back at me with unconditional love.
His whiskers shine in the afternoon light.
It’s time for more games.

He jerks up and howls at me to join him.
I giggle and say, “ Right, come on then…”
I chase after him into my moms’ freshly cleaned room.
The bed is beautifully made up for our wrestling session.
He pretend growls at me and we try to defeat each other with brute strength.

Ten minutes of screams and laughter go by.
The crisp sheets are now soiled with hair and fun.
We are both exhausted and lie in the lounge to rest.
Another productive and meaningful day.
A successful bonding day with my main man and me.
