J is for Jealousy
Sonnet 10
06/15/11
It’s not a negative thing they say, it shows
That one is capable of loving and of
Feeling the pain and the bitterness that grows
Beyond self’s sanity, deep within one’s cove.
It can kill one’s being and eats one self whole.
Isn’t that the idea of human nature?
It’s instinct to give his heart a silent lull.
Using the reasons of jealousy’s demure.
What right a man must have to sow this poison?
To feed with doubts and with lies then reap its wrath.
Evil it may be or is it loves’s reason?
And swallow it whole, a dagger to the heart.
[If] It hears no reason, so be it ‘till last breath.
But jealousy is a curse no man can escape.
