I Am My Rose's Thorn

How dare he!!!
He is beholding her beauty....
my most treasured
and precious loved one,
in his eye!
I see his desire for her
oozing forth like volcanic lava!
Go away!...GO AWAY!!!
It is my responsibility to make sure 
that no one.......
NO ONE steals her!
I was designed for this very moment.
It is my divine duty and the highest honor
to instill a painfully painful lesson
to this blossom stealer....
a thief of my most beautiful One!
Yes, she absolutely belongs to me
and I will not let her go without
extracting.... a drop of his blood!
YES!...I will show him the error
of his way!
If I must enlist the assistance
of the others much like myself,
"Hah"....I will not hesitate 
nor will we show him any mercy!
None whatsoever!!!
He will know we exist!!!
Thief!.....you're a thief!!!
Pain!......
PAIN will I inflict
with the ultimate enjoyment of
prickly pleasure!
I will issue forth one of life's
most painful reminders to he
who would try to steal my precious,
precious Blossom!
She's mine!!!
I am prepared to give my all!
I will pierce him and break away
from my stem....if need be! 
She is MY Rose!!!.....
Mine!!!
and I....
I....
I am.... 
my Rose's 
thorn!

That aside - great poem from the viewpoint of the jealous one, something I think every human has experienced. You laid out the feeling of jealousy, beautifully ... CayCay Login to Reply Walter T. Ashe Date: 2/24/2016 4:57:00 PM Thank you CayCay! The jealous emotion is so so powerful and it's energy is actually flat out destructive. Even in writing from that perspective it was really a different sense and feeling-one my experimentation has ended. Thank you for your words-they are greatly appreciated!

Walter T. Ashe Date: 2/24/2016 11:17:00 AM Yes Silent One! So true, so true! I was using the thorn's view but I do also see your point quite clearly! Jealous passion can emerge in so many ways! My true nature is the exact opposite and it gave me the "other" side of the coin view! Thank you for your insightful words. Admittedly there was a different sense while writing this! Light is preferred over the dark...I do prefer healing words and those of love! Thank you! Login to Reply
