A double-edged sword,
so pure,
jealous
and evil,
meant to comfort all that wield it,
All bow to it,
all long for it,
all perish in its wake.
Love is a weapon
jealousy is the root of evil
once said, there is no retrieval

They will talk **** about you
Because after watching you succeed it's the only thing they can do.
They were your closest friends, they were so kind...
But all they wanted was seeing you fail, seeing you far behind
But why this jealousy? Why this hate?
Are you for real this desperate?
caustic famine
eyes poised to attack
two sides of the brain divided
like strangers on a phone
your grin sadistic
yet somehow inviting
bitterness holds court
in the beauty of your hunger
mirror speaks in riddles
no love survives

This anger controlling my feelings,
Within her arms, you I sight
Over me, rage was reigning
But I knew I can't fight.

Amongst many to feel
you sleep in your angry
curled-up ball.
To soften your eyes.

Where have you been
my love?
What can you know?
When did this seed of
you now, find itself home?

Why could I dream of you
before you laid here?
To know some parts of you
fills me with fear.

And dread.
I’ll have to confess my
earth-prints too.
And they aren't always clean.

Words, words hurt even if they are just restating facts.
Facts somehow now twisted by how they were originally delivered.
Passing on information to people I think should know.
Know for my heart, know for my peace of mind.
But jealousy it seems should always be forgotten.
Talking about it magnifies it beyond what it is, just slight and simple.
I made a man into a monster in her eyes.
Something he doesn't deserve.
I sit in the midst of a love triangle in which the woman doesn't want either of us.
She just wanted to be friends with both of us.
Now her urge to be more intimate with me as a friend is blocked by a barrage of concentration on a subject that should be so light and whimsical.
And a friend who had his heart crushed by seeing that intimacy.
I feel like a wolf, these words bite and wrangle, and won't dissipate for 100 years, says Muhammad, pbuh.
I always think work will become easier, but tests multiply, and it stays hard - hard in heart.
Sad.
WHY* I HAD TO PONDER

Wandering exploring to discovery transportation,  heading deep into the future .

Awesome GOD, amazing world, beautiful nature. No hesitation, feels good to-be found on this sagely planet .
Wonder why I had to ponder
sages are disdained .

While wickedness sustained and ordained amongst the crowd . Few are the real found in this mysterious wane full of misery . War in peace's stead.

Tribulation in place of jubilation. What growth is found without love?  True love is taken un-granted. And deceit granted.

Much more to life than envy jealousy begots evil.

But the power of love conquered poverty.

why can’t i be the boy next door
i stay dreaming of living in his head
my ****** abode doesn’t equate
to his well kept space
i want to spend at least one day in his bed
i just need a bite
seal his soul inside
keep and say it’s my own
no one will miss the real him
disappeared in my deranged vanity
death isn’t silent
but alone we arrived
and alone we will depart
perfect i will finally be
i want to be art
