SUNDAY IS FOR POETRY: I Believed You


Jealousy, you wily stalker
disappearing, reappearing
Imposing yourself upon my soul.


Uninvited, unwanted
You preyed upon my averse desire,
my perverse appetite
for your cunning bounty.


You spoke of truths that were untrue.
I believed you, your quarry
I'm sorry, darling.

It is a nice poem Petra and I think a re-occurring theme. Jealousy to me is like poison, it devours the soul and is best banished through thoughts of happiness to be allowed to share in the fortunes of others.
