Her piercing eyes burn through paper-thin lies, igniting fear as flames erupt inside. And reluctantly, she breaks down and cries, trying to salvage what's left of her pride. She believed you both had found your soulmate, and thus, never thought either heart would stray. And she struggles with bouts of love and hate, as she watches her dreams slipping away. There's no such thing as an innocent flirt; it's the first crack in a relationship. And the lies that accompany it hurt, causing the scales of happiness to tip. Jealousy is an emotional dance that stomps out flickering flames of romance.

I can relate to this as I had these feelings once upon a time when I was young and dating. Now that I am older and happily married I realize in my case, that jealousy over not getting back then, who I thought I wanted was a phase in time. Congrats on your win in my contest.

Jealousy is an emotional roller-coaster. Not a pleasant relationship to be involved in, and I speak from experience. So thankful that I came to my senses and ended it, with help from family and friends. Your thoughts touch my heart deeply. Congratulations Emile, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Dear Emile, so wonderful to see your name here for a very well deserved POTD. I love this sonnet with a vey smooth flow and great rhymes. I also love the idea of jealousy being an emotional dance and the imagery it conjures up. The ending couplet is profound. Really enjoyed this well expressed sonnet my friend. Enjoy your celebratory day :):)
