Sentinel of Love

Some lover's jealousies are such a tight squeezing embrace that the loved one can't help feeling coiled and embroiled like in the grip of a loving beast or literally a bear's hug And which makes her sigh, why God ever chose to model her into a beauty For the near perfection of her face and figure highlights to him his imperfections such that her illustrious famed facial grace transforms him into a suspicious tamed beast! A possessive kind of guy miner tis he who jealously guards this beauty secret like upon having struck gold and wishes to lock her up from the world like a real-life Rapunzel's witch. Yet as no black clouds can hide the radiant sun her world soon comes to know of her innocent screened charms and beauty despite his protests and measures. Yet in a world of unscruplous looters this louvred love cage turns out to be that blessing in disguise She can no longer be preyed upon by any predator guys. Thus both lucky and unfortunate is the comely woman But let her bloom and breathe in love's cell or engulfing dungeon for a free bird she was never meant to be for long. And let her wedded man be her love's protective warden so no body but he is lured by her look and lovesong! She can't just forever fly and sing foot-loose and fancy-free. A plethora of cocks out there might try to charm her with their new feathers serenading her with new love songs in the wind. All she must do is snap out from and slip away from their flirty fantasy. For she can either opt out and walk out or stay in and stay on, but not both, for the sake of her beloved and wise values of scruples and principles.

What a beauty this must be that she be locked up from the world that they do no see, what jealousy does is undeniable, it is a curse but brought on first by who. A Love Song which goes back to the beginning of time. well penned my friend, fascinating, provocative and thought provoking. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Yeah love is like a cage somewhat and that is good for us, not all cages are bad. And my own love case is not of suffocating jealousy so i don't mind any male husbandly jealousies. Warm thanks for comment,

Nice use of metaphors of birds and cages, very descriptive of the perils of love and jealousy~

Yeah love and natural jealousies are intertwined for many and in my case his jealousies are not perilous and dangerous but his fury in other matters such as child rearing etc are quite exhausting and can be detrimental. Warm warm thanks for the feedback,

A little possessiveness and protectiveness is fine as long as they are not accusatory when a woman is faithful and has given no reason to doubt her. An introspective poem to ponder. Blessings xxoo

Yeah like my hubby's possessive jealousies are never accusatory as in accusing me though he does accuse sometimes even innocent males of eyeing me up or being overfriendly with me. Warmesr thanks for that great wise smart comment dear. Take care

Guess its hard watching a woman be tempted over and over again, especially if your a man in love, nicely written, much understood :)

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri
Date: 3/2/2022 8:02:00 PM

Yeah i have seen this in other cases where the man is too pained and upset because his woman is being tempted time and again and is falling for the temptations. My husband sees men trying to very indirectly get my attention but he's happy that i never stray away from him nor get so tempted as to have a full blown affair with any of them. He's also reasonably possessive and so in love as he professes so though he suspects sometimes even innocent males for gallantry yet he isn't ever suspicious of me giving in to temptations because he has never had any reason to. Warmest thanks for super cool comment dear,

Yes, a painful twist as love-jealousy seem to bevoft twinned. In some cultures, there is no escape for the beautiful wife. One can think how some women escape to embassies. The poem itself has artistic merits & powerful metaphors (hugs from ones loving beast)

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri
Date: 3/2/2022 7:54:00 PM

Hmm what did you mean by bevoft twinned poet? And why would women escape to embassies, which women? Yeah many many cultures still frown upon flirting affair escapades by married people and it's a good right frown. But all these cultures including mine also allow the wife to leave an abusive relationship beautiful wife or not. Thanks soo much for the fine feedback and thoughts on this.

A good one! But is the poet anxious about her love's possessiveness or she says that it's a way to keep herself protected from the fantasies offered by the external world? Looks like this poem has two poles to talk about!! Nicely done.

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri
Date: 3/2/2022 6:56:00 AM

I would say it is about a case where it is a very light wry sigh explaining why the hubby is possesive, somewhat mocking him for it a bit and certainly more like how you summed up in your latter choice of his possessiveness being a sure way to keep herself protected and prevented from inviting charming offers from other males some of whom could turn out to be just flirty players and flings. Warm thanks for great comment.

Yeah i know what you mean as i have watched shocking obsessive jealousy cases on youtube and the internet in other countries both western and Eastern but thankfully my hubby who is possessive but in a very healthy likeable way only as far as to disallow me ever talking to his brother or shielding me from males which i actually enjoy. But the real unhealthy part of him comes from his fractious aggressive verbal abuse with regards to how i run the household with our maid and how i mother our kids. Warmest thanks for your nice caring comment.

Extreme jealousy leads to a toxic relationship. Some people think love and ownership are synonymous. Very descriptive, expressive poem! Janice

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri
Date: 3/1/2022 10:04:00 PM

Yeah i know what you mean, i have seen extreme jealousy cases only on youtube videos and internet case stories . My hubby is jealous and possessive but not in a toxic smothering way at all, i don't mind his most possessive actions like not letting me to talk to his brother who can get overfriendly since he had wished to marry me. So i actually enjoy his jealousies. That said, my hubby's loud mouthy scoldings about other things like my mothering and house management with our domestic helper is what's really toxic and upsetting for me. Warm thanks for your fine super comment.

Dear S.zaynav, I appreciate your nice comment on my poem "Come, Dance With Me". In your new poem it seems the sentinel has a dark desire to smother her, giving a sense of false happiness and possible fear of him. He is so worried about what other's think that he is not enjoying the blessing of her being with him which is a lack of self-esteem. You have an ability to bring such a mindset to the forefront. A thought provoking poem from you. Keep sharing your talent with us. Be Blessed, Neva

Hi dear, Actually my hubby's jealousies don't feel smothering at all as the jealousy cases I see on YouTube videos etc, his possessiveness doesn't bother me much at all, what really bothers me is his nagging and nitpicking about other things so that is his real dark side and can bring fear. His loving , caring romantic side gives happiness every now and then though. Yeah he has insecurities and inferiority and sometimes superiority complexes . Warmest thanks for the fine comment dear.

It's nice to have a 'love sentinel' in your mate, ideally, without too much possessiveness. Your insightful poem is well written and thought provoking. Blessings, Evelyn

Yeah like mine hubby's problem for me is not his possessiveness, for that i don't mind. What I do mind is his cranky mouthy attitudes in other matters. Warmest thanks for insightful comment dear.

Interesting poem! I always naturally safeguarded. I had a man walk into my office and “close the door.” I immediately showed him pictures of my husband and kids posted on the wall!

Wow i like your story, nice to know he was deterred by your hubby's pics..Pretty ladies like yah need to be extra careful around such types of men coz you never know what kind they can become. Warm thanks for the fine comment dear.

Sad situation because there is no way there can true happiness with someone who wants to possess the other person and unable to trust them in their life's journey. I enjoyed reading this emotive and expressive work. Your visit to my page was encouraging. Sara

Well in my case my hubby's jealousies and possessive attitudes don't hurt me or sadden me, but his nitpicking and nagging in how i manage the house with our maid and kids really angers me much. Warmest thanks for your fine cool comment dear,

Always nice to know if my poems are relatable. It's very natural for partners to be jealous yeah if the partner is more attractive than he/ she is considered to be. I can relate and understand, you must be beautiful. My hubby's super possessive but i don't mind that at all but i mind him belittling and demeaning me for petty faults . Warm thanks for comment dear.
