Doctor Love

I once walked lonely on the streets of the world,
Searching for a friend as pure as a pearl,
I had no friend, I had no mate,
I suffered from a very lonely fate.

Out came she, from a dirty box,
Struggling to tear some dirty socks,
Even though she was dirty and not at all clean,
She appeared so pure and so serene.

I named her Doctor Love from then,
I gave her a home like a lioness’s den,
She stares at me when I do something wrong,
She dances with me on her favourite song.

There was this moment in my life,
When I fell in love and got myself a wife,
It was Doctor Love, who found a wife for me,
It was as if she knew my destiny.

Doctor Love and I were taking a walk,
When a woman stopped by and started to talk,
Doctor Love then broke all barriers and ran,
Even a rocket would be slower, the way she can.

I found Doctor Love chatting with a girl,
The girl resembled beauty and peace entangled in a whirl,
I went up to her to speak to her and got lost in her looks,
You know they don’t make such girl’s anymore, not even in books.


Doctor Love bought me a lot of joy and never a moment of pain,
Doctor Love gave me whatever she had, without considering her gain.
Doctor Love told me once that she loves to live
She will meet me every morning and love is what she will give.

To define Doctor Love, I have no words,
She loves to run around and chase the birds,
Her love for me is genuine and thick as a fog,
Doctor Love is my everything, not just my dog.
