THE SIN OF JEALOUSY

Qurrathul Ain


Notice of absence from Qurrathul Ain
I'm taking a break for a while, for no specific reason. Maybe because, I don't get as much inspirations as I used to.

When I believe,

Myself to be a saint,

I imagine a white plain.

 

Which is when,

Something brilliantly seeps into view,

Flowing in and staining the sheet,

Burning red.

 

When I believe,

Myself to be truly happy for someone,

Although I see no force of fire nearby,

The blood red sheet catches fire.

 

It burns slowly,

Licking up the edges first,

Making its way up towards the center.

 

Which is when I realize,

I should have stopped,

The flow of red earlier.

 

Because it is,

The centuries' old sin,

The reason why The Devil,

Was disgraced in the first place,

The Sin of Jealousy.

        Yes, it is a human instinct, and I hate that. But it can be overcome with a lot of effort. Thank you for stopping by.
