SinLove is desire
the name
the lust
the passion
the fire
the burning of the ashes as required
Sin is everyone
even when we were born, the mother's womb is the reason
why pain is born
On earth as it is in heaven
we fight among each other as our sin shed blood
among together
Darkness is us, as corruption is the world
allowing sin to breathe...

Still, love persistsin the voice of a man who walks through fire to light a candle
And yet, love breathes in poisoned air
Though boots came down, though no one cared.
Behind the fence, under red and black skies:
I loved. I hoped. I paid the price.
Carve this truth on prison walls
In pink triangles, on nameless halls.
They called us shame, they...

In Water DarkImage : 3
In water dark, I learn to drown
A silence colder than the sea
The ghosts I fled still pull me up
In water dark
He haunts the edge where I should be
A memory I never chose
Still carves his name inside of me
He finds me gasping, cold, stripped bare
Each time I hide, he leaves a mark
I bleed unseen...

Sanctified in SinCalm entity
entered in disguise,
silence before the scream,
walked in flesh and clotted blood.
No empathy,
no sympathy—
only rage and a ticking bomb.
Each slay, barbaric despair.
Each pulse, a metronome of fate.
Each breath, a ticking alibi.
Invasion. Foul play.
Mind occupied,
inquiring around—
an art of silent prayers
no one understands.
Lucifer commands, all in delusion.
Garnished trophies to remember the names.
No fumbling, no rambling—
only mind-twisted monsters,
carved...

you who’d not change a single thing in life ~ may not get another chance
whereas i’m guaranteed one more presage ~ i’ve sold my soul in advance
satan wouldn’t take it ~ so traded with Lot’s wife for her sustained glance

IF SATAN HAD SAID SORRYIf Satan had said sorry
My hunger wouldn’t haunt me daily
I’d breathe in peace
And sleep without the weight of worry.
But pride made him defiant
He traded my hope for his ego
Now I walk through life unknown
With doubt as my shadow.
If Satan had said sorry
Maybe God would still feel near
And grace wouldn’t hang from a cross
Paid in blood...

How Far We FallThe sun has gone to rest my babes
I give you this last tale
If only you will sleep my dears
For you will I regale
There was a man of great esteem
In wild woods afar
No one knew his given name
They called him Mr. Tar
They named him such for all his soul
Which some...

Just Say Yes“JUST SAY YES!”
Evelyn Pearl Anderson
Imagine seeing the LORD God
seated high on His throne
and exalted with His garment
train filling the temple zone
Bright seraphs are seen flying above
with two wings while two more
wings cover the face and two more
cover the feet; they implored
“Holy, holy, holy is the
LORD Almighty; the whole earth
Is full of his glory”
As they...

The Apples of His EyesThe Apple of His Eyes
reflected in the pond, the fruit
held precious in the lady’s hand.
polished by mistake; the loot
gathered with a serpentine backhand.
the limbs of oz took hold, as
the man held out his unwise hand.
the cleaved, in juicy bite pizazz,
forsook their love, served up bland.
reflected in the mirror, the duo’s tears
shattered their perfect life, untouched.

After all these years
it's my belief
based on experience
time is a thief
all wounds it heals
they say but in truth
it took my looks
purloined my zeal
and stole my youth
no matter the cost
come what may
I'm at a loss
what can I expect today
a past that won't last
or linger longer any more
and with or without me
life goes on as before
when at...

Like A Soft Caress On The Skin, Filled With Enchanting Sin
Come to me like a wild horse unbridled longing for the river
like a morning prayer on the heart wanting nothing more
Come to me with pining like a widow waiting for her love
like a soldier in the trenches, begging for cease fire ...
Come to me like a dove gliding over peaceful waters
like...

It's all just words and writingsThe will to feel each other skin to skin while sleeping in one bed
you want me, don’t deny it
you know it’s not right, it won't be right
Trying to distract myself from crying
telling you perverse ideas
Making you sweat and tell me what you’d do to me if I were there
The ideas get more grousome...

SinLo, do I grasp with my wretched fingers,
Onto where my heart it still lingers,
Tendrils hold as though a parasite,
With it's life causes my blight,
Even withered it does not die,
For its mother hears its cry,
Nurturing back to good health,
Yet it is I who have dealth,
Suttle thoughts fuel the proliferation,
Making death its instrumentation,
Rest from it comes with...
