if the reader
falls in love with the character of a book,
their love can be eternal.

he can over and over re-read
each part of his beloved.
he can just stop for a while
and gently touch the mirage.
he can even ****** a piece
and carry it for a lifetime.

but what happens
if the character
falls in love with the reader?
Jellyfish stew,
I'm loony for you,
I dearly adore you,
Oh,truly I do,
You are creepy to see,
Revolting to chew,
You slide down inside
With. Hullabaloo.

You're soggy,you're smelly,
Ou taste like shampoo,
You bog own my belly
With oodles of goo,
Yet I would glue noodles
And punes to m shoe,
For one oozy spoonful
Of jellyfish stew

she inquires why I write so many poems,
easy comes reply:
It gives me a fantastic living,
it makes and gives, each poem,
a calculation, a reconciliation
of who I am...a miner of the
mineral wealth in my veins

always the child
who never got appreciated
just an unwanted child
trying her hardest
to be the perfect oneβ€”
just once.
trying her hardest
to be appreciated,
dying to hear:
β€œyou did a great job,”
β€œthe dish you cooked was very nice,”
β€œi’m proud of you,”
β€œyou scored 98% in maths,”
β€œi’m proud of my daughter.”
she just wanted
to be loved.
to be seen.
to be appreciated.
