Best Deadly Sin Poems

Angry people hurt
Living heart-felt tragedies
Sometimes reliving them too
Over and over
Anger is really sadness
No one is truly angry

For those of you
Who believe voodoo
Is real enough
To earn your trust
Then be prepared
To be filled with air
As I blow smoke unto
The mirrors of truth

The Sins of Death
Provide you with meth
As halucinations occur
When you try and protect
This endless cure
For control of the lure
And mans skewed laws
Produce...

Jealousy in senior citizens
Is an ugly thing
It’s childish, it’s petty,
It has a negative ring
For elderly women, make no mistake
In certain surroundings
There’s quite an outbreak
And don’t they look silly
With their petulant smiles
As they pose and they preen
Like noxious reptiles!
The venom they spew, why, it’s unladylike
Overheard was...

Portals of perception …
they used to get taught
to seekers and dreamers
and children unwrought

Depravity and greed
force fed to the young
with lies and betrayal
—their futures forgone

A virus-like vice infects us all,
Tis the sin that made Lucifer fall.
like a canker hidden from sight,
It destroys the soul like a blight.

When in others this sin we detect,
Our hearts assume a loathing aspect.
For few they are that ever suspect,
that this very vice their heart...

There once was a woman who happened to be graced with beauty. She was adorable from the
moment she was born. This wholesomeness lasted throughout most of her life. Her eyes were
her greatest assets. They could mesmerize almost any man and hold him captive for as...

Lust: To be enamoured with rust.

The way that the seasons stand
Upon the shoulders of those
That came before.

In the end always toppling into winter,
As anything found in death
Must to death return....

Deadly sins

    1. Strange, I can't recall if I had breakfast yesterday,

    I can remember what kind of pollens made you sneeze twice that Tuesday.

    If only you knew how many times I called your name...

My Deadly Sin

Apathy lets evil win. 
Gossip is among the Ten. 

Cruelty is simply barbarous. 
Three of Seven mentions avarice.

Hell burns hot for hypocrites.
Stygian fates await the bigots.

And may there be little respite,
For the tyrant nor the despot.

These are sins that I abhor,
But, alas, there...

Caught between 
fear and despondency
it came as two trains
passing in the night
 with him on the center rail
too frozen to choose
too barren to cry
too orphaned to commit
hearing the screams
from the dying polarity
tearing him from the center
of his emptiness
daring him to move
while forcing him to stay...

envy germinates
in deep soil of discontent
and is quenched by acid rain

nourished by malice
its emerald suckers spread
and sap resentment's rich source

it may lie dormant
or fester in toxic thoughts
till re-kindled by desire

envy chokes the soul
ever left dissatisfied
it shall end its days alone

Upon a throne of gilded lies,
Pride sits, with fire in its eyes.
A whispered voice, a velvet snare,
It lifts you high, then leaves you bare.

A mirror polished, sharp and clear,
Reflects the face we long to cheer.
But deeper still, behind the glass,
A shadow stirs where truths won’t...
