Don't fall in love unless you can
Tame the flaw that's in every man.
Jealousy learned at father's knee,
Flares up quickly about his she.
The green-eyed devil starts to stir,
In his heart he finds fault with her.
Until he can learn her to trust,
Don't fall in love with woman's lust

ahhh jealousy the green eyed monster. A little is normal and ok if you can handle it. But if im reading your poetry correctly it almost sounds like someone is scared to trust and fall in love again for fear of jealousy rearing its ugly head and what that person may do, as in not trusting himself. But i could be all wrong and overdramatized this? And i like the three birds two together and the other one left out and the green eyed monster is back. Again putting a picture in is good for the reader if they don't understand what the write is about.

Jealousy can cause so much damage to a relationship...I believe it isn't true love where there is mistrust and jealousy...A powerful warning...

He he well put Jerry!
There's a hell of a lot of angles to consider isn't there?
Yet, is there anything like the passion of love?

I enjoyed very much. Love the pic, made me smile wide.....

true love never looks after it's own interests

Ah, I was just playing around with the jealousy problem, Denise. A little jealousy is okay, natural as you say, but some guys carry it to the extreme and that causes problems. Appreciate the comments.

Oh, I think you can really love a person and have horrible jealousies, Karen. But if you do that is part of your own insecurities. Appreciate your presence here.

Haha! Angles! Rectangles! Etc.! And no, there isn't anything like anything like the passion of love, Eric. Thanks for your input.

Jealousy can be distructive but it is not an emotion that is easily controlled I guess, and I've seen it applied to circumstances other than romance.

Oh sure, people can be jealous of the strangest things, your wealth, your children, your car, your God, there are endless possibilities, Ida. Thank you for stopping by.

Excellent poem and picture!
Yes,if truth be told, I have felt that green-eyed monster in my heart more than once.
