Meeni slept in bed with a big brown cockroach
“It’s an adulatory, ", I went to broach
She growled like panther
"I love Mr. Gunther”
"Dad,go and bum around Miss Apricot Poach”

She is loving me
But in another man’s arms
Her heart she says is longing for me
Her body she lays cuddled in a man’s arms.
Her heart for me
And her body given to him
Her body she withhold from me
And her heart given to me she denies him.
She plays a love
Like a single in a double act
Her body and heart differs in love
As the clouds kiss the water, she awes the act.
But a witty spider
She entangles in her web
A cockroach and lures a gecko, rather
The gecko preys on it and the roach tore its web.

Craven Cockroach
Cockroach ugliness, unfair
Nukes cannot kill you
While mere heartbreak buries me

a hungry and tired cockroach
was forced into library of Bibles
by a platoon of chickens
with nothing to eat for months
it sat and thought deeply for solution;
“why not eat these Bibles to live?
I have advantage if I do so
I will eat God’s words innocently
drink altar wine I see there
when the Bible food and wine
reach my stomach and brain
I will understand message of God
I will surely enter heaven
when asked at the gate why I did so
I will say;
hunger for God’s words
made me to eat Bibles
thirst for eternal life
made me to drink altar wine.
love for God Almighty
made me a lunatic worshiper

They, thought I gave a rat's *** about their cockroach offspring....
The fact is I tried to tell Lucifer that he should spray these abortions
Before such become his own plague within, fading time ? Yet knowing
His prince he's probably too busy sniffing his own balls to truly know what
The _uck is really going on ? So I chugged another Heinie and smiled thinking
How very ironic this twist of lime finding myself hoping for these Angels once lost
Save the love they left behind or better still a destined rhyme beyound her night his, joke.

loneliness, love, poetry,
you left me last night
you left me alone
you left, maybe, for another one
or you left for the unknown
a stormy night the night was
electrical thunder passed by me very much
I was in the faint light of kerosene lamp
around me was prickling damp
in the fading light alone
the lizard was in a quiet tone
on the mossy floor
the cockroach was swoon
In this closed room, you left me alone
though loneliness could not touch me
cause there was the Tagore, the Neruda
there were alive a lot of poetry
no loneliness touched me there
the poetry filled up your place complexly
since you left me alone period
poetry became my living partner beauty
