My Tiffu – UMeU #UMeUBlogHop

With your tiny velvety paws
You entered into my life,
It took you an effort
To         b up the low, rustic porch
          m
         i
       l
     c
And clear all that strife.

And soon you were
J   m   i    g
  u    p   n     up and down the road,
Splashing and playing with water 
Like a full grown Toad.

With those cute puppy eyes
You would listen to me—
Without even saying a word
You would take care of me.

                          g 
With that wag  i  g tail,
                             n
You would answer to my confusing tale
Every time I needed you,
You were there without fail.

What’s true love?
Every time someone would ask,
Earlier, I would fumble to answer
But then, 
Would show them your face…

You have seen my tears
And witnessed my fears
T i p toeing, You would come
and sit next to me,
Just letting me know
That you are here for me.

Then one cruel day
You br o ke your promise,
Went a w  a    y      and       ahead 
                               In a far away place
A beautiful place in the Universe

Now that you lay
Six feet u
              n
              d
              e
              r
I have planted 
your favourite plant atop
Will watch you grow everyday
Till I finally Slllleeeepppp
Next to where you lay.

They wondrously promise me,
There is a calm and crystalline heaven,
But all I need is— You
For you were my safest Haven.

Heaven is a nullity, if there is one,
Till the time you were here
I can say I experienced one.
Your presence, Your Love
Made this world breathable,
Now that you are gone 
It’s again back to being unbearable.

You were born in another form
But don’t worry 
I promise!
If there is another lifetime,
We both would come back
In the same form
To love each other 
And create the most melodious chime…🎼

You were the apple of everyone’s eye
You played fetch and we followed,
I will not mourn your death
For You loved celebration
And we will celebrate… 

With that affectionate heart of yours
Which was purer than Pure
You were better than others—
(Anyone who could speak)
For you were the one
Who could listen to
My words and my silence too

In another Universe
In a picturesque hue
All there will be 
YoU Me and YoU
O! My Tiffu
I will   f o  r   e    v     e      r
                                              LOVE YOU…
