Envy by Jaipal Singh



	In a surge of emotions The selfish man inside me Sometimes envies those In your close proximity - Friends and relatives Or even colleagues at work Who get your attention and care Who get your hugs and kisses In a token of display of Mutual warmth and love. The chain of thought breaks The selfish turns selfless And realization comes fast Happiness and well-being Of loved ones is what Every soul aspires for If they are happy and contented, You will be happy and contented So your wish becomes my wish Your likings turn to my likings Somewhere me mingles in you And the envy like camphor Vaporizes in the oblivion.

Rupradha Ji, usually I avoid any remarks of judgemental nature unless specifically required but can't resist to say that other than the boloji editor herself, currently you are the most valuable and sensible person/poet who reads and reviews almost all poems with a positive bent up of mind. Thanks a lot!

excellent..loved these lines:
So your wish becomes my wish
Your likings turn to my likings
Somewhere me mingles in you
And the envy like camphor
Vaporizes in the oblivion.
