Firm eyes piercing, willing
Longing and desire run deep
A tilt of the head questioning yet thoughtful
Shuffling feet showing intent
Second by second
Pressure and intensity palpable
Eyes darting toward expectation
Breathing intensifying
With action comes reaction
With reaction comes pleasure
30, 40 seconds, a Mexican standoff
Silent anticipation stretching time
The release comes, and the chase is on
leading to heartfelt excitement
Satisfaction and Pleasure roll together
Returning to Master, eyes glinting with joy
The reward for a game well played
Awaiting the next chase panting
Master and Labrador lock eyes again
A perpetual game bringing joy to all
