what can alter conceptual visions into brutal cold drama and visualization of reality into the hate-filled fantasies familiar bodies coupled with other bodies materialize into green-eyed jealous mid-day offensive words a loved one suddenly is vilified as storm clouds bring new strangers into the loved ones arms this lover that lover one and all driving the jealous on quite insane everyone is suspect even more, thought or smile once were revered things now turn back on themselves to utter words which are like a dagger to the heart undermining forever the love that once was there for you ©December 17, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (01-01-2015 10:07 AM).] |

wonderful wise words Jerry!! You have laid it out perfectly. Now if everyone could read your poem and understand how toxic jealousy is the world would be a better place.  |

Many thank, Lori. If I had only heeded my own words in the past I might still have Nanette. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

There is nothing more destructive to a relationship than jealousy, when it is unwarranted and ungrounded. You so vividly describe the destruction, Jerry. When that green-eyed monster is let loose, nothing but regret can follow. A great write. |
