Are your glasses clinking
laughing together
over the table

Do your eyes meet
even for a second
and sigh

Am I there
anywhere
in the back of your mind

Humm Duncan, do you have green eyes?  They are showing... Not to worry, I have green eyes also.  This is very good....but, why do you wonder?  Jealousy doesn't look good on anyone, I don't think anyway.

Duncan, I would be willing to bet that you are definitely on her mind. But I sure do know this insecure feeling.

*sigh* mmmmmmm since I have no one to do those things with I guess that means I am free to have you in the front of my mind. ..I could feel the hurt in this poem...My heart goes out to you that you are feeling jealousy...it can be a very destructive emotion. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Duncan, this is so heartfelt. I feel for you. You surely did get your point across in this poem and you did it beautifully. floria

It's hard to say if we have a place in someone else's mind, I only know what is in mine, a place that I've carved out and set aside.

Jealousy?? Damn, I’m too inebriated to know what that is!! But, sometimes there is nothing to be jealous of, you know? For you know, you are always in the front…never mind the back … of her mind. lumdui    


If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Nancy
Nope, they're blue.  Just had one of those moments and thought it was worth saving to words.  Jealousy is not usually in my nature...close call tonight.  I agree, will be much more careful in the future.  (Like a heart can be careful, huh?)

Sandra
Exactly.  Just going with the moment of insecurity.  I am sometimes my poetry...but for the moment.

Startime
Their loss, my profound gain.  I am loving being in the front of your mind!  Just working through a moment.  Thank you for connecting.

SEA
Cowboys are tough.  But still accept hugs...just in case.

Floria
Heartfelt for certain.  I write in moments...taken from time.  And yes, the point was not lost.

Blues
And so it seems has she.  Whether I deserve it or not.

Newell
You're not kidding.  I thought to go 'where no man has gone before'.  Not a pretty sight but real all the same.

Tracey
I know, you know, that I know.  Thanks for letting me go with these moments.  And I'm glad you came home to talk to me.

Duncan~
We often deny that jealousy exists within us ...
but this seems an honest emote, delicately pondered~

there are 2 things a person can say and you know they are lying...

1- "i've never told a lie in my life"

2- "i have never felt jealousy"

human nature is very complicated... jealousy hurts.. you wrote this well, duncan

I can't say I've felt this while jealous, but I have felt it while wishing strongly to be with someone I can't be with. and hoping that they remember me.

Lovely write, Sir.

For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me.

GR8 write!  
How many times have we all asked that same question?

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
