Jealousy: Devil in a Green Dress with Matching Stilettos

I wrote this a while back while indulging in the devil’s gift of green.
I posted this now as Raymondo reminded me yesterday how horrible a beast jealousy can be; and how deadly.

Jealousy: Devil in a Green Dress with Matching Stilettos belongs to the following groups:

! Creative Writing & Poetry !, "Poetry and Beautiful Women" , All Out Emotion, All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Anger Management, Core [C.O.R.E], Creative, Talented, and Unknown, Inspired By Life, Masterpieces: Literary Workshop, The Art of Pain, The beauty of poetry, THE SISTERHOOD, Up & Coming Writers, Vibration in Art and Verse - VAVoom! and WMG

Why,
on some days,
does it feel like the devil himself
just bought me
a thigh high,
tight as a second skin
kelly-green dress
with matching green stilettos?

It feels damn good
to strut
on those green days.

I know its wrong,
this indulgence in such gifts,
so why do I lick the monster
until he is on his back
staring at me
with those greedy black eyes,
when he only means to strip me
naked
like a cheap whore
at the end
of a long filthy night;

burning my haughty face
red?

    Wow – Kristin this is an almost deadly accurate description of an emotion that eats at so many of us – mostly out of our own insecurity rather than possessiveness. Not being able to love ourselves very well, we are sure our love can’t love us either and that there are others out their much more suited to meet their needs. Then for sure the monster rears its head. I doubt there is anyone who reads this who will not relate to this! Brilliantly written.

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    thank you, Lianne. sadly, most can relate. :) xo

    Jealousy is a green moster..one of the worst sins destructing loveand happiness..this is strong and deep.. jealousy from another part can make us feel chained and trapped,used like the whore in your poem,jealousy destroys happy smiles-excellent my friend-Charma

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    yes indeed, to all you said. it’s a real bitch. :)

    i have one of those dresses too. so tight they break your bones. squeeze all the breath out of you. soften your organs. make you blind so you don’t have to watch while the moon eats you. better give that dress to charity – a lunatic will buy it, wear it until she has been sucked dry. better for you to buy leather for new shoes instead. don’t you agree?

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    I love your comments. yes, like a big green snake eating you from the head, while the moon shines on, teeth bared, licking her dark lips…until you are shat bones on soil.
    perhaps we can go to goodwill together, and donate our filthy green threads to the needy…then walk on over to the shoe store and buy us some strong, leather soled treads for the long, tretcherous walk ahead.
    is it a date, then?
    :)
    thanks, HK

    This is so well written. Everytime I see that bonehead start to rise up I place a fork in his cheeky little butt and send him home crying to his mother. LOL That is one emotion that will never rule my life. Well done.

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    ha! yes. you have inspired me to keep a fork with me at all times, for just that purpose, thank you again for saving me! :) xo

    Why jealousy? It kicks in and we end up kicked in the face… was it always like this? Is protecting our genetic spawn worth the emotional roller coster?

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    I have no idea, Mark. all I know is I hate that bitch.

    What a brilliant analogy of the green eyed creature….especially when we are astutely aware we have him riding us with his whip urging us to go deeper into the swamp…and when we do we find we have lost so much of our reasoning to fine our way back to solid ground (emotions) We are a funny bunch us humans are we not! But we gotta love ourselves cos we ain’t perfect but we kinda know that….XX

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    yes, a funny bunch to be sure…I know, one can really get lost in the mire of this emotion, your comments are always so insightful, thanks, KS! brilliant woman, you! xo

    Jealousy is so alluring at times that we can’t fight him off….so long as we only partake for a moment and then come to our senses, ‘tis ok methinks. Your poetry rocks, sings, screams…plays every damned instrument in the band. xoxo
