JEALOUSY
A red hot shot strikes at chest A hot flush runs inside the loins The neck is choked The eyes befogged Mind is numb Nothing penetrates It makes a fool of me in crowd The heightened color of cheek The weepiness of voice I stand out marked a first rate fool Oh jealousy, How I hate you! Cursed indeed was my fate To get such a malicious mate But………in the aftermath After the showdown –in the lingering bitter sweet state I think I learn to live with you Your presence is red hot….scalding But suffices to show that love still burns Bright in the heart- at least mine Perhaps it is better to suffer Than feel nothing You exist because passion exists I am not lifeless. Baptism by fire- that is what You have done to me You are part of my growth process To discover myself I must Necessarily wrestle you You teach me to give space to others To adjust and coexist with generosity If I ever stake claim to sublimity It is you who guided me from bestial to divinity So the green eyed witch! I am sorry to have maligned your name Poke me with your thorns As much you wish I needed you to restore my Faith in love, God |
