The Jewel of Jealousy

I've been jealous of Time, sharing it with the foot steps of Days feeding it to the appetite of Age, Possessive of unbuyable beauty that roams reckless within a creation fenceless, senseless ownership, owning only the yawns of yesterdays, jealous of glory as it ransacks the wrinkles of haughty heroism hungering for more rumor in the religion of rhapsody, following it throughout the carols & catacombs of hearts greedy, feeling the charm of challenge to earn my woman's wishes, jealous of commitment that sits silent in the center of attraction, Jealousy is the General of my affection's arsenal, a strategist that tells me love is worth a crusade, taught me not to surrender to simple circumstance, that my woman's warmth puts my skills on parade, relentless progress is the ambition of Jealousy, a must be aptitude, a must see attitude, jealousy is that drum beat in my bravery, war paints the face of my fears, sharpens the claws of my soul, a song that stammers not on success, a lyrical miracle, should not lose, could not lose, will not lose - J.A.B.
