Jealousy
What a terrible emotion this is
Its reason is imponderable
destroying loving bliss
it causes us to be dishonorable
When the green-eyed monster strikes
insecurity is ripe
for accusations untrue
Oh, but what is does to you
It tears at your senses
bombarding your thoughts
bringing on stresses
hitting like a juggernaut
Until finally, if they use the name
in desperation, you play the game
but with it comes the guilt
and your love begins to wilt
Chalk it up to insecurity
caused by someone else
whats missing is maturity
blame it on yourself

I shouldda posted this poem to start the thread...
"Here is my (poet's) philosphy of life:
What is Life
To experience joy, even sorrow
knowing that, perhaps tomorrow
you'll have another chance to share
another chance for someone to care
To smile at a stranger and
converse with friends
to say hello, to say good-bye
and nod to passers-by
To meet with souls
not unlike your own
to welcome loved ones
into your home
To whisper sweetness
in your lover's ear
and share the joy
of one so dear
To see the joy in a child's face
after he has won a race
to see the sun behind a cloud
that's what life is all about
There is much more I could say
but, let that suffice for today
remember this above all else
only you can improve yourself
