Jealousy is like fire that's eating up the lover.


20) Rainbow, Gardenia and Rose

Rainbow,
Gardenia,
And rose.
Plus some beautiful thoughts.
Mixed with some torn regards
And dead words.
That alone left from you.
If I could frame it, I would have done.
If I could live it again, or just once.
For I miss them as much as I miss you.
For I mourn them every time I see you.
As my eyes meet yours,
And as my hands shake from owe.
Why today I can't be with you?
Why it didn't last?
Why today she's taking my place and sounds glad.
How could she hug when I could hardly come close.
Why she is touching what I used to touch,
And saying she loves you so madly much.

How could she invade my palace and steal my rose.
When You were the only treasure I had,
The mortal king of my heart, but
Yet, she has it all.
The kingdom and the king
The garden and the rose.
The place and time.
Along with present and fact.
And am just watching miserably far.
With a hidden tear that manages her best to calm
A broken soul that tries boldly taking the blow
And believe that you are no longer in her life.

"Why she is touching what I used to touch,"

"With a hidden tear that manages her best to calm
A broken soul that tries boldly taking the blow
And believe that you are no longer in her life."

If I may so say it, this is a refreshing twist to painful endings. I love the title, and the kingdom and the rose, and the way they're all blended to give new life to a beaten-to-death idea. Okay, I'm positively rambling now... I love this!

"How could she invade my palace and steal my rose. when You were the only treasure I had" - to me these lines create such a living image in mind that sizes up the feelings of the situation... powerful emotions expressed here and it's written beautifully... i really liked it... :f xx
