The Sin of Adultery

It takes a lot of nerve to admit to your sins But facing everyone after they know the truth That your heart has left you with feelings for Someone other than the one who you were with Giving into the passions that make you a sinner Leaves you playing with desires that ignite fires Of yearnings within the heart and spirit where God only knows you’ve tried to remain repelled By the evils that will find you out and force you To admit to the wrongs that surface in the heart Who desires more than a mere touch, but more So very much passion that feels so inflamed it Attracts the depths of the soul to grow tangled Into the union of two who hold onto the needs That prevent them from being absolutely honest Without immorality or indulgence into any sin Adultery is a wrong that discovers the sinner’s Deepest thoughts and strengthens the ones Who long to find the courage to let go of the Dance of deception found out by the adulterers It takes courage, though, to finally let it all go!
