Sweet, Sweet Valentine
I am jealous. I am jealous of the distance between us. Closer to you from where I stand. But you can never understand.
I’m jealous. Of the smiles you receive. Of the sins you conceive. The beauty your eyes feast on. When the day is gone. Certainly not my body. Nor my decree.
So I’m jealous. Of the darkness your mind aches to light. Of the dream your heart reaches at night. Without me you dance in the heavens. Until daylight.
Forgive me for being jealous. Cursing at this distance between us. Of every soul you meet and greet. Ones perhaps you long between your sheets. Of every soul that comes and goes. Ones perhaps to be my foes.
I am utterly undeniably jealous. At the clothes covering your skin. At your naked body in the light so dim. Sitting in the solitary. Without the presence of me.
Until you take me. Hold me. Own me. Keep me. Captivate me. Greed only for me. Love me…
I remain jealous.

Nice poem, Sita…
Though I don’t celebrate Valentine.
So… you are a teacher, a poet, a model, a musician, a writer, a dancer, a distant traveller, etc…
W - O - W!!!
