Best Jealous Poems

~The One That Got Away~


Here I lay weeping

I sing a sad song to sleep 

Fire cracking bones

kicking, screaming, pulling hair

The moment, gone forever


~SKAT~...

Jaunty faces
Evoke positive thoughts  
And even though they say encouraging words to you
Layered within those words are thoughts of failure
Only their mind’s eye knows about
Until that day you are on your knees
Struggling to get up; while they are watching you and not lending a...

A jealous woman am I…a very jealous woman
For you, dear, are MY man, my very own possession

Yes, I do own you; you are under my lock and key
Don’t you dare now look at her, for you belong to ME!

My love is a gilded cage, but...

I am jealous
of everything that has ever touched you,
the breaths of hot sunshine that have soothed your cheeks with hope,
the moonlight that has painted your lips with lilly silver,
the darkness that has calmed you into soft slumber,
the rain that has pelted your flesh with sky...

~ A Jealous Woman In Love~

             Since I barely slept I felt ill as tears blinded my vision

When it comes to the vacuum cleaner
my dog is a jealous beast,
showing off his fangs and claws.
Does he not know that I'd feed
my Oreck less if he, now and then, but
wiped his paws?...

Wodon gave them song and verse
Promethius gave them fire
Dionysius gave them wine and games
Orpheus played the lyre
Atlas held the world aloft
Fenrir consumed it whole
Ceres gave them seeds and crops
Ran the waves that roll
Pandoras box kept evil locked
Rati set love free
Boreas brought the winters frost
Eostre, springs...

Another poet has pled their case
a cry screamed out for all
Sticks and stones in outer space
will float and never fall

Why are your poems read? Mine are not
could this just be in jest
I’ve no degree; I am self-taught
but I always give my best

Hear me now, I...

Through endless, vast, eternal space
there hangs my most omniscient orb.
So far a dark and lonely place, 
no sunlight to absorb…
just as my dark and lonely soul, 
forever unexplored.

My many moons of sordid glow,
as all my suitors orbit slow –
but Titan’s love I longed for so,
forever...

They say the gods do not subtract from man
the portion of his life spent sailing ships,
but she, the sea, brings ruin to ill plans.

Though harsh, this raucous mistress well equips
the one who seeks her true, with all his heart;
a bond is forged that naught else...

It’s past midnight and sleep has walked out on me, yet, again.
I stand in the door way to the quiet patio, now bare ...
There’s a frost advisory tonight so precious plants are safely housed  
As I stare into the vastness of navy skies, listening...

Should I be jealous of the sun
                   Forever it will know the sky
Its passion in a fiery rage

Jealous games

You walked in, 
with those high heels...
and everyone,
watched you as you walked

Your little black dress,
fit you 
oh so tight...
attention was what you got

You stared at me,
as the men came around...
you flirted... with one and all

Bridge 1
And all the guys, they fought,
hard just to get...

I ask the Lord's blessing to fall upon you,
I look back with thanksgiving and trust.
The worst of my foes has not broken through
my Jesus is joyful and jealous and just.

I look back with thanksgiving and trust
when your condemnation comes past my gate
my Jesus is joyful...

Giving beats getting, I have found.
Get off feeling so sorry for yourself.
I mean, seriously, where is your gratitude
with all those trophies on your self?

You avoid your poet friends that love you?
Avoiding their hundreds of poems.
Think...what does this say about you?
No wonder you feel so alone!
