Jealousy Is Forbidden In My Law Poem by nadia abduljabbar

In The Memory of My Late fiancé

Jealous sweet heart? !
For me?
I am flattered,
But only for moments,
For I don’t like to sting.

Did I cause thee such
A horrible painful feeling
By my spontaniety?
But it was only a radio
Program. Yes, he laughed
From my daring answers,
What can I do?
I am a daring person;
I can’t change my personality!

He is just a mundane man,
How dare thou compare
Thouself to ordinary men,
While thou are something
Else in spirit as well as
In mind.

Yes he is handsome,
But just like a painting that
Thou enjoy looking at for
Some seconds and that’s that.

What is this my darling?
Thou are belittling
My mind by this jealousy.

Thou were about to make
A scandal for thyself
By opening and closing
Thy fist while talking nervously
About schizophrenia,
And all the poor guest could say:
“I understand nothing”, well I do
It is men's egoism, but thou are
Forgiven for thou don’t know me
Fully yet.

Thou know I have not a split
Character, but an open one,
Thou know I cover my hair
But not my brain, so try not
To mingle things just
Because you are jealous.

You work with beautiful
Elegant and younger women,
Did I say a word about that? ! ! !


Come on baby and hush,
I wish I could hug thy thin body
And ribs until I hear them cracking
In my full arms and chest.

I am warning thee,
If thou ever reach
To ECSTASY
With me, thou would never
Be able to see Sunlight
Or Moon gleam hugging
Me day or night during
Summer or Winter time.
