I’m jealous of the light that sees you every day
I’m jealous of the night which holds you to daybreak
I’m jealous of the world you live in without me
I’m jealous of the wind that blows a kiss upon your face
I’m jealous of your clothes that touch and hug your curves
I’m jealous of the men you lead on and give your smile to
I’m jealous of your youth the mistakes you’ve yet to make
I’m jealous of the time you have for anyone but me
I’m jealous no fault of yours I a man you’ve never seen

I am approaching the age when I shall be feeling this way.
There will be those who envy where I will be too, finished with the rat race, content to simply watch…

It’s a little strange as though only written a couple of years ago I couldn’t write this poem now – I guess with age you pass through a stage, of desire to admire – a different state of being.
