Jealousy

And as I dreamnt something wonderous; profoundly emdedded inside of my heart!

It somehow came to seem, as the day of reality began to unfold....

Romeo and Juliets forbidden love, of never meant to hold?

This, deeper than the deepest of all, perhaps, that has ever been known

Destroyed by a jealous enemy one day; pretending to portray more, than they may ever truly be!

Revealing, the shadows of their many faces, which, were never real at all

This child inside an adult, exposed; from the truth of their being

These glimpses along the way, that were but preludes to this day

When friendship was crushed; along with trust and faith....

Never to be repaired; not entirely; to the one in which it concerned?

Oh jealousy, what a sharpened dagger you truly are!

Grounded amid the shifting dunes; and fluttering, within these tearful winds that blow

Fragile roots, which never fully extended, into the soiled depths wherein they bed

To turn upon a beautiful light, for ones amissful and self-absorbing reasons!?

Selfish to the core; at the expense of anothers wishful and hopeful dreams....

I have no bitter reproach to say although; no judgments upon yourself shall I cast

But sympathies I do stretch forth; for the lost it seems, of your very own soul

Which is willing to take this priceless pearl; with its tender and loving kindness....

And hurl, it into the flames of your hurtful and blinding fire

Speaking volumes of where you are now; within such a saddened and somber way?!

But time as I have said afore, shall forever reveal its many tales

And yes, we all shall reap, these moments of which we have sown....

For there is no escaping within the end, that final, and ever manifesting mirror!

Of gentle treasures that once were robbed; precious dreams, that once were stole?

As turning ones back upon; to step on, their beautiful worlds; while, as you spit your words!

Yes, you do have my sympathy; within the most sincere, and profound, of ways....
