MY PUG QUINTO LOVED AND LOST

Sky over cast, sunlight shrouded,

Pale, the weather clouded,

We used to walk the dale,

Regardless of raging gale,

Tugging the leash, trotting behind,

Pug, Well bred, defined,

On garden benches, 

Trodden weeds and lone stretches,

Thou silent, distant church bell,

Together, not a soul to tell;

Your silken flanks,

Adorable, silent pranks,  

Sprinting on the beach,

Surfing waves, beyond reach,

So long after sunset,

Far from dawn, with regret,

Adrift, ‘lost my only friend,

Feel like, ‘am abandoned!

Memoirs of bygone days,

My heart still ablaze,

This darkest hour, mourn,

Grief ‘have ever known,

Loved you more, but showed me how,

Thou Paws of comfort bestow,

No going back to find,

What we had in mind,

Run along dear, where happiness awaits,

Be seeing you in a portrait,

​In our hearts, love resides,  ​

With deceit, the destiny decides!

Its time now, for you to rest,

Find your way, towards sunset,

My smiles with you, I forgot,

Me standing alone, while you depart!!

EPILOGUE

Are you in heaven Quinto?

No, ‘am with you!!

Always and all the time?

No! Sometimes, mostly bedtime!!
