Jealousy snarled

He was mad of her.
There was a nod of her
In their furtive contact.

Passion God was awake.
Ethical Guard fell asleep.
Suspicion had suspected.

Guilt complex was startled.
Fear of exposure in her ruled.
Jealousy came in watchful.

Chastity was restored
As secrecy got a leak.
But passion met a casualty,
While Jealousy snarled.

Lust-less life is listless life.
