Envy Is a Sexy Seductress

ENVY IS A SEXY SEDUCTRESS On days when the devil's workshop opens On the streets of an idle mind, Envy visits and knocks. It lingers on your porch, As you try to call it stranger And busy yourself With thoughts of the good Jesus Or the days when you shone too. A vapourized consolation That clouds over your hope And rains in intermittent despair. Envy brushes aside her long hair. Softly, it knocks and winks. So you open and it glides in on heels Flaunting irresistible humps Like a glossy damsel in a mini skirt. Caressing the back of your mind, Whispering in soft tones, Evil plots of destruction; For peers that cruise in Porsches. The ones that brandish their wedding rings And threw bouquets which you always missed. Bubbling in fine villas Surrounded by giggling kids, In new posts and instagrams. A flagrant display of all you wish All which you couldn’t have. So you get all warmed up And she’s all over you in a trice.
