Jeolousy

She saved my life
because of her
I write the poems i could not write...

Sometimes I write
the equivalent of typing into a trashcan
feeding my own wastebasket...

Sometimes I feel jealousy
perhaps we are all savages inside
I tell myself not to feel jealous...

Jealousy is destructive
it won't make me a better writer
or a better person...

Perhaps I can change my network name
I would change it
to humility/surrender...

But she saved my life
I have faith with the work
regardless of how many people read it...

Hi Ken,
Keep writing..we write not because we could but because we must.
Once the words are in you they will overflow and it doesn't matter if they are read by others or not. You write for yourself.
Keep it up! hug bouquet

Not many have the ability to write good love poems.So jealousy and envy some use as their way of admiring.It dosen't matter who reads it if you write for you and your lovely Joycelyn.So pick up that pen and lets tear this world a new chapter of love my friend.Cheers buddy!cheers
