I think of her asleep at home;
Full of her warmth, I envy our bed.
Wherever all my musings roam
She follows in my head.

the entitled,
caught between envy and sadness
over futile choices
raised  close to the earth
sleep with the whippoorwills

adorn the tallest trees now
an early sneak peek
of what is to come so soon

I only sense their silverness.

Envy me,Oh wrath of truth.Omitting that triggers,the lie in your eyes.How could this
be?Best friends are we?Living in a subdued friendship.

An old Willow Oak,
Enormously huge and grey,
Towers above all,
Softly glows in the days light,
Being all the birds envy.

Premium Member Mixed Emotions

lost in this moment
my emotions mixed
i am red with rage
green with envy
yellow as a coward
pink from bashfulness
as i sit here confused
sad

Envy

Eager to achieve everything;
Not wanting to become nothing;
Viewing everything to be something,
Yet, striving hard, still you have nothing!

sweet smell of her envy perfume
drowned that stench of betrayal play
stygian smile blurred by church-white veil
her heart habitually astray
