Unconditional love shines in his eyes
oval, slightly tilted, black-rimmed green eyes
flecked with gold, large and unblinking
‘I love my owner so much,’ he is thinking.
She strokes my back and scratches my head
and every night I sleep on her bed,
my owner makes sure I’m fed and deflead
she is aware of and responsive to my every need.
I’m glad she sees the love in my eyes
my shining, demonstrative, slightly tilted green eyes
and from her long-lashed blue eyes that mirror a calm sea
I see the same unconditional love shining back at me.
