O' Jealousy

O’ Jealousy SORRY FOR THE BROKEN LINES- EACH SINGLE LINE ENDS WITH A COMMA. O’ Jealousy how wonderful You are, You sow the seeds of hatred, So deep, Often even, In an innocent heart, That friendship, love and sympathy, Began to seize slowly, By the charm of your tempting arts. You create doubts, To watering the plants of hatred, Which slowly grows, On the fertile land of mind, But soon, Its roots began to find, Their pores, In the soft corner of hearts, And then one day, It takes into its clutches, Even the most liberal part of our hearts. I salute thee, O’ Jealousy, As you live in every heart, And began to show your colors, Irrespective of age, regions and bars, In every land of this Earth, Even high in the sky and the heaven, You live and bloom in every season, You move from one end to another, So swiftly and so fast, Without the formalities, Of any permission, And without the need of any pass, No sky can limit your boundaries, No heart can torn you apart. No one in the entire universe, Has the power to make you stop, Sooner or later we all succumbs, In the traps of your alluring arts, How beautiful and catching, You weave a story, To trap the poor hearts, How magnificently you wait, For the prey to play in your hands, And to see its great fall, While singing the same tune and songs, Which you have weaved, Through your master craftsmanship, For the poor soul and hearts. For this reason, I salute you, O’ most beautiful jealously, As you are a beloved, Of everyone’s heart. Please be merciful on me, And leave me without your shines, In my heart, In lieu of this, I promise to praise thee in my arts, O’ jealousy, how wonderful you are. Ravindra K Kapoor Kanpur India 30th Aug. 2014
Note: "THE BROKEN LINES MAY DEFORM THE POEM WHICH OFTEN HAPPENS WHILE PLACING THE POEM ON POETRY SOUP" Hope this technical problem would be checked by the Poetry Soup Team. Ravindra K Kapoor 31st Aug. 2014

gosh, I guess you could take any kind of bad quality and describe it this way. A very clever way of approaching this topic, Ravindra. I like how you praise this evil to make it stay away from you at the end there!!

Thanks dear friend for your kind and precious comments. Is it not something great about Jealousy that it lives, in some percentage almost in every heart. Blessed are those who do not play in the hands of Jealousy dear friend or somehow they can keep themselves away from it temptations. It is because of this quality I have given this extra ordinary tribute. Love and best wishes always... Ravindra K

Enjoyed reading this one today..We do have control of our emotions..Within each man two dogs lie, the one that he feeds grows and the one that isn't fed dies..Jealousy can be killed in infancy by turning it away..Great work about the emotion..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara

Ravindra, I am so sad that I have not been a good supporting poet, for a long while now. I am now trying to bounce on my feet. It was a wonderful feeling, to see your comemnt, once again. I thank you for the reply. I myself am not floating here on the soup as much. However, I pray all the heartaches, my family is dealing with, will be healed. LINDA

It is really painful and sad to know that things are happy at your end Linda. If you ever feel like talking to me through mails I shall be happy to be of any support for you. You can send me a soup mail too. I really wish and want to see you smiling and happy. Just take care of yourself and have trust that after the very dark there is always a glimpse of hope and light. Love & best wishes always..

Ravi, jealousy is the monster that makes money flow better. When afflicted, jealousy can make money spend faster. Awesome write with excellent metaphorical meaning. Sending a smile and a hug - Verlena
