Jealousy

Jealousy - One, Nine and Sixteen She walked down the stairs while holding her hands With tears in her eyes she could not refrain She pummeled the door and she writhed deep in pain He entered the door and called out her name She grimaced at him and she slapped his face hard You dallied , I heard with a lusty coquette I love you no more , begone from this place Your conduct with me has been a disgrace Breathless confrontation consumed his face I beg to differ you’ve been misinformed My sister came by and I kissed her hello I sought her advice to buy you a gift She knew that you liked her favorite song Please play this CD for the time you recall To make you remember on the day that we met The music pulsated into the night Embarrassed she cried and she held him so tight Forgive me, my dear, I now see the light The music continued and he honored her lips © Ralph Sergi June 9, 2018 *created with my poetry group

I could see the different poetry styles in this so that was great to see that it was done by a group. What a fun poem you guys came up with. (by the way, I sure do hope you are right about the "future", what you said at my poem)

I know it sound corny but I believe we all have a purpose life no matter how minor.

There's two sides to every story: His and his or hers and hers (I made that up)
