A Homless Heart's Plea

"A Homeless Heart's Plea"

by Drakovi Bloodrose

In Tucson's scorching blaze, I roam,

A homeless pup, with heart of stone,

Abandoned, lost, I'm all alone,

My tail betrays the fear I've known.

Once nestled in a loving den,

Now shadows haunt each step I tread,

In human hearts, no love to lend,

A world unkind, where hope has bled.

With hunger's ache, I seek for scraps,

In trash bins' depths, my spirit saps,

A beggar's life, a sorrowful lapse,

Ignored by all, I'm but a trap.

The darkness falls, a daunting shroud,

In hidden corners, I'm avowed,

To escape the stones that pierce so loud,

To flee the wrath of hostile crowd.

A park I find, a glimmer gleams,

A child's tears, like distant streams,

I nudge her gently, hope redeems,

But love's denied, as nightmare teems.

Her father's wrath, a cruel decree,

In her eyes, a longing plea,

I'm torn apart, yet still, I see,

Not all are blind, to empathy.

Through trials hard, I carry on,

In solitude, my spirit's drawn,

Yet buried deep, hope's ember's spawned,

For love awaits, with rosy dawn.

O, Tucson's streets, unkind and cold,

A tale untold, my heart unfolds,

In every beat, a story old,

Of yearning love, in life's threshold.

So let this verse be a plea,

For eyes that see, beyond debris,

A chance for love, to set me free,

From fear and pain, to destiny.

In Tucson's scorching blaze, I stand,

A homeless pup, with heart in hand,

I dream of arms, a promised land,

A place to heal, to understand.
