The Seven DEADLY SINS

Every time I see you smile

Near all blessings life has thrown

Verily makes my aching soul

Yearn for what I cannot own

-

Loveless passion in the night

Undulating, sweat bedewed

Surely makes my burning soul

Tempt my body to conclude

-

Gaining more than I can keep

Rending all for me to reap

Endlessly questing for what remained

Ever makes my thirsty soul

Desire all left unattained

-

Pleased in all I have achieved

Relishing in rewards received

Immersed in my vainglorious fame

Doubtless makes my infallible soul

Expect reflection of my self-acclaim

-

Submersed in non-euphoria

Listless in acedia

Overruled by apathy

Truly makes my languid soul

Hide away indifferently

-

With vengeance I will strike my foes

Rage my agent of all woes

Anger smoldering violence infernal

Thunderously makes my roaring soul

Hate all with my rage eternal

-

Gorging always excessively

Lavish dishes enticing me

Unneeded, my victuals aplenty

To savor overindulgently

Total submission to my bounty

Only promising unfulfilled respite

Never makes my ravenous soul

Yield my endless appetite
