Room Of Jealousy

she was on him constantly

about his inability to communicate

effectively ,his late night forays

Left her sleeping alone

While he lived out every man's

fantasy in a room of jealousy

what woman can compete

with the goodies in his toybox

she tried looking sour

even showed a sweeter side

had a sense of urgency about her

Asked if he was done

In that room of jealousy

He locked away

The nature of his dedications

she inspires works of poetry

romantic heartfelt explorations

Unflinchingly

she called herself the other

woman  seeking access

To his heart

call him a lunatic but

for a moment it sounded

sexy having a steamy affair

with his guitar

A torrid romp with the piano

In this horrid room of jealousy

all men are rock stars

and a few months passed

before she had his undivided attention

mix in some playful flirtation and

he soon realized

quality time wasn’t what it

used to be they made a new years

resolution to strengthen their family ties

they still joked in bed like all happy

couples do, their banter melted

The ice some until she sighed

you mess my kitchen up when you cook

Devilishly he laughed

I just remembered how

my instruments need tuning especially

the one below the belt
