"PUPPY LOVE"
"PUPPY LOVE"
"Puppy love" is real love.
it is true love.
it is pure love.
it is first "love."
Spiritual love binding boy to girl; girls to boys; love's next breath, away from home. Puppy love is ever embedded in our memory; none escapes its net.
Though seldom articulated, or, more seldom consummated, it was "love."
Puppy love is life's first blush.
Puppy love is life'a first rush.
Life's first gooey gush is puppy love.
These hormonal, heart-felt emotions are blushes, flushes, rushes, gushes, touches, feelings, that are all too new for most children to "know," yet fully:
what they are;
what they do;
what one is to do with them;
how one is supposed to do it; or
what it all may inevitably lead to.
Like fresh growth from earth, that surges toward the sun, innocently, obediently, faithfully, seasonably--
"Puppy love" is obedient early to the eternal spiritual summons of renewal of reproduction encoded in all of life.
Puppy love is life awakening to life.
