Poetry: Jealousy

by Janay Walker

Created on: June 28, 2009

"Wrong shoe sized words"

through my glasses of germinating wisdom

i can see through your erroneous pretension

dark clouds over my aesthetic words of decency

walks in the shoes of jealousy

strutting high, agreeing to accompany insecurity,

your three inch wings are broken

your pilfered aerial shoes have

fleetly espied a laudable owner and

has immersed you back down into your measure

you have been humbled...somewhat

still, no more will you decorate my yielding ears

with your daggered words or stiletto shoes

nowadays your transparent and lucid words are no

longer allowed to force me to believe that i must

wear my well deserved aerial shoes through the mean

increment waters on this iniquitous ground you walk on.
