Lust - A Mortal Sin

They lifted up their candles above their faces, to the sky.
The people prayed in unison, softly, many

Poetry: Sin

The minister explained to us

How sin began, from Genesis:

“An apple hanging from a tree

Adulterated you

"A Snake In Lamb's Clothing"

You are beautiful
Everything I could ever need
The only one
That truly understands me

This heart

Alone, forsaken and alone. 

Discarded like a piece of trash.

Abandoned, in the garbage thrown

Hope, an illusion does

Pandora's Box

A gift, sent forth from Satan
some stare with greedy eyes,
a tempting, glittering jewelry box,
of death, destruction,
