Poems About Jealousy by Top Critiquers

Silenced by Fear
How many of you have seen the 1984 television movie "The Burning Bed" starring Farrah Fawcett? Fawcett plays an abused, battered wife that's repeatedly beaten by her husband. She tries to seek help but nobody has taken the initiative to assist. One night after she is raped by her husband, she sets the bed on fire while he was asleep.
A similar fate has happened to a neighbor of mine that lived diagonally from me. She was maybe 35-40 years old. The few times I've seen her from the distance I can tell she was fairly thin, average female height, with long curly black hair....

Entourage
drowsing in the eternal slumber
I awaken to the centuries
tumbling through time without care
our meeting place is secured
I am summoned at the appointed date
he tells me I am being refused once more
I am not fit as a companion
I've been wandering here forever it seems
living off the radar
I feel a sadness inside me to be forsaken again
summoning my best smile
I walk the other way
I brook first refusal
he has denied me, I will take a lover
inside the scorn grow
timeless beauty reflecting my...

Touche'
stop
please go away
I don't care
what you
have to say
I never wanted
to be a part of
your world of cliches
where mediocrity
is hard at play
it isn't what
it isn't is
don't we hate
the whatever'sssss spin
I escaped the trap
you tried to lure me into
you play a twisted game
you're so lame
you can call me fake
but that's not real
you think you
are such a great big deal
you aren't nothing
but a shell of a man
you know it's true
I trouble you
so in...

Black Tar Lung
Still coughing up
A black tar lung
Ink stains blot
My choking tongue
Quill races by
My mind’s undone
No fear of death
I’ve been expunged
Like alchemy
We’re having fun
But not quite like
When I was young
Matured respite
A refined hunt
Each letter penned
With dripping lust
Aging beauty
Hair like rust
I crave response
I crave your touch
A black tar lung
Ink stains blot
My choking tongue
Quill races by
My mind’s undone
No fear of death
I’ve been expunged
Like alchemy
We’re having fun
But not quite like
When I was young
Matured respite
A refined hunt
Each letter penned
With dripping lust
Aging beauty
Hair like rust
I crave response
I crave your touch

Pangs of Jealousy
You like to torture me
Or I like to torture myself
Who would like that?
The mania is something to do
OCD festival of bruised ego
I don't deserve you
You don't deserve me either
We're kinda stuck with each other
Unless we want to buy new vaporizers
Or I like to torture myself
Who would like that?
The mania is something to do
OCD festival of bruised ego
I don't deserve you
You don't deserve me either
We're kinda stuck with each other

A Sneetch ( after Theodor [Dr] Seuss Geisel )
There are havettes, and have notettes–
yet in all honesty, without possessions
who can tell the difference?!
They appear the same shape –
male and female alike; O! But wait!
is it a tittle of a title they covet?!
Or, perhaps, in all honesty –
it’s a jealousy thing ; O! Me! Why
clonedingus another Sneetch?
We each have our trinkets – we’re all
born completus; O! Yet, it’s not enough!
Some Sneetches choose to be leeches!
Is it fortune, fame they don’t deserve –
but feel they...

Old Itchy and Scratchy MAGA
needed fifteen minutes of fame
then ten times more for rage and blame
like an Anglo-Saxon saga.
It was fight, fight, fight... fight, fight, fight,
with buckets of blood in the schools,
when those mangy MAGA fools
got another kid in their sight.
I guess it will end when we're dead
since that's what MAGA seems to need
when anger breeds with business greed
in a white supremacist head...
where everything they'll ever know
they mixed with Trump and Old Jim Crow.

Wearing Socks Of Mad, Of Own Hero
The cricket whispers to the silence within
listening to the mendacity of twilight, hoarse
with the voice of acapella sage leading the choir
wearing the socks of mad at their reality show,
a line of BS lining their tabloid ego
inflating their own self-importance, hoping it sticks
with lies on the move, being contagious

Open Letter To My YouTube Troll, Originating From DUP
What, your crazy ass, chagrined, because of my natural inspiring beauty
You cannot match the slopes of my breasts or my PHAT booty
Are you bitter of the seductive sashay in my hips
Mm... the honey of my whispered words my lips sensually drip
Educating you all around the depth of your unlearned mind
A rare jewel your intellect will never find
From Earth to speaking about the spirituality of Heaven, my philosophy, my ideology against your wits, not suitable to ever combine
Run circles around your presence time after time ...

You are the boss.
A little late at work,
Came home, you met on the threshold.
The look is hard, incinerating to the holes,
He looked at me like a jeweler.
A little bit of fear won't hurt me,
because you're pushing, it's exciting.
One movement and you pressed me against the wall,
A little painful, uncomfortable to the back.
A hand at the throat, the other on the hip,
You are definitely the winner in this game.
And me! What am I?! You play without rules,
Again this only excites.
The breath is hot, not a word, just movements,
Looks...
