He still worries
that a silver tongue
will steal me a way
with beautiful blue rhymes
he can’t compete with
He thinks I’m wooed with words
to greener dreams
of love
His jealous eyes
can’t see
that what he fears
is the best of me

"Trifles light as air
Are to the jealous confirmations strong
As proofs of holy writ."
Shakespeare-Othello (3.3.360-2)
