Six Sisters of Fate

in the gloomy darkness, late, past sun set, the six blood sisters of fate often met, their venue the slumber of mortal minds, in the depth of sleep when the reason's blind. sister 'Doubt' is the one that started flare, letting lose the bull amongst china ware, her twin sister 'Jealous' took up the fight, to disturb sleep and keep awake all night, two of elder siblings have played their part, Sisters 'Greed' and 'Lust' often problems start, through the desires of body or of wealth, they work in silence with a feline stealth. The result on mind of their evil game, human relationships are not the same, the body fatigued wakes bereft of sleep, 'open door' to let sister 'Anger' sweep, by early dawn mischief fuse has been lit, an excuse at breakfast to throw a fit, harsh words are exchanged and decency dies, that's when walks in their oldest sister 'Lies'! this family affair of sisters six, for years have been for love marriages a jinx! if you wish to guard your true love from them, build your trust strong and let it be at helm, don't let the evil sisters get in cheap.... - a calm peaceful mind earns you a deep sleep! 3rd placement 'Six relatives' contest Sponsor 'Caren Krutsinger' Written 4/11/2020 10 syllables per line

Beautiful write. I took it as 5 sense organs and mind. Each one taking the theme differently. Interesting contest. You are right, these sisters can really ruin a marriage.
