Garden of Sin
I cultivated a garden of a sin.
A garden carefully planted to attract mercy.
A sight surpassed only by
my hanging garden of deceit.
With all my treachery reaching down
in a attempt to cover my sins.
And with each passing day I trim my vines,
in an attempt to keep my deceit at bay.
To keep its trap at bay and to save myself,
and to make its temptation retreat.
I decorate my gardens with fountains
to wash away my sins ,and to keep the seeds
of deceit at bay ;to stop them
from taking hold of this rich clay.
