Green Eyed Monster by Tina Louise

By Raja's Insight on June 23, 2019 • ( 0 )

Inside me lives a monster

from time to time it raises

it’s ugly head

I’m not proud of this monster

in fact I am very much ashamed

I feel like I have no control over it

it comes out regardless if I want it to or not

It seeks to destroy all that I love

all that I hold dear

My monster is green

it lives in the darkest part of me

it surfaces when I am weak

It takes over my soul

so much so I am no longer recognized

by those who love me

Creating doubt and paranoia

turns me into someone I don’t want to be

I have lived with this monster for so long

and I am so very tired of it

But try as I might I cannot make it leave

I do not envy those it seeks to devour

all I can do is apologize and hope for forgiveness

So here it lives in the darkest part of me

lying in wait to rear it’s ugly head

The theme of this anthology, isn’t in any way compiled to shock our readers or to embolden our writer’s hedonistic desires beyond the realms of the actual physical truth, but to quite simply tell us factually the particulars good or bad, hilarious or sad about themselves, about dating in our currently vastly changing world—about their sexual preferences experiences their carnal desires needs and to divulge them bravely, unblushingly, unashamedly to share them with us; what it is to date someone today or to fall-in-love or to never find love at all. Love is not a fantasy, but it can be magical. Naughty Nuts & Bolts takes a good look at these bodily functions through heart, mind and body and physically unparalleled expectations.
