She is me

She is a shadow of Delilah Dancing on her own immoral desire Sabotaged by her jealous urge That puts her under siege to sin Her heart a metallic object Bound by the spirit of the attacked deer Struggling to save herself Battling with her hatred Which devours all her strength and defense She is an epitome of patience Curved and patched inside her Waiting for the resurrection of affection And the coronation of a lasting union Her eyes kill Her lips seal Her words heal

Wow! Faving this for your choice of multi- meaning words, its twin, insighful theme; its mirror presented to the reader. I had a problem with jealousy that i inherited in the 1950’s when all media proclaimed that All men cheat. Hmm In my marriage of 41 yrs, i’ve wrestled w/my imagination/fear, never the cheating. BRAVO & welcome to the Soup!
