Ani-Marriage

Is not life for
love?
where is love in
animal?
...who has no
conscience
without a thought
they mate
...a passion without
a face
it only takes a
craving

I married an animal
incredible a hulk
despicable as
vulture
unbend-able a human
seeking nothing but
self
...too late i am
married!!!

Let me go if going
is loosing
how be i bound in
lost esteem
better am bitten by
lions
than the sores of
your words
at least with lion,
i’ll be dead
...with your words,
am a living dead

what manner of hope
is grave?
yet for such i will
trade my ring
...my yearn is to
farewell
if i lose a servant,
i’ll wail till i
fade
a beggar’s death is
a mourn
unforgettable
if i lose you, i
missed nothing!

When you go, i‘ll
grow
when you fall, i’ll
rise
when you are not
near
i have nothing to
fear
...sooner i tell you
there was never
human in you
