Bombay- 1874
by Lord Maximus
My darling in Bombay
Her hair glistens like the Ocean
But my heart cannot bear
To see her take for granted,
All I have put forthright as she stares,
My darling, Once with me,
Forgot and Forsook me,
‘Where must thy hasten to?’
‘A land far, far away’
‘But why my moon? Why?’
‘I seek a man better than thee
Thou have fulfilled thine duty, to satisfy and appease me
Howbeit BEGONE! And don’t ever raise word about me,
Make my departure unknown, for I’m not native here,
I had lived in London, before you had known me,
My name is Samantha, Daughter of a British Soldier, and 23,
Priyesh, my time has come to an end,
I’ll never forget you...’
and that was the end
I am now stuck with a woman, who eats Pringles and Cheese
Her toes smell like onions,
and her breath smells like.........
