Heart Of No Pretense

His gentleness dwarfed by deceptive disguise
He, his soul, every cell breathes grandiose size.
High massive shoulders anchor head immense
While cradling between them heart of no pretense.

Feathery white lashes cling aloft big brown orbs
Vigilantly surveilling territory unexplored.
A signature snortle confesses his fear
An endearing timbre I helplessly revere.

Mammoth is his love, loyal and sublime
Into enlightened reflection, he accompanied my climb.
Blossoming unguarded, my spirit bestows
Infinite devotion for my majestic, enchanting Bo.
