Sin Poems
Shadow Puppets
by Nathaniel Phillips
Seeking for the balance in it all
Measuring our hearts against the weight of another’s failure
As we exploit celebrity demons to distract from layman skeletons
Our stones cast of our wounds that fester
The spitting image of innocence lost
Sins trafficking hearts like an inner child molester
Tempted by the promise of pleasure without regard for the cost
Forgiveness was never meant to endorse the permission to betray
Or have a casual attitude towards our failures and those we hurt along the way

17. Dead To Faith
by Kea Campbell
Time and time again; sin after sin after sin.
Time and time again; repent, repent, repent.
Nothing ever changes because you refuse to peer within.
I always expected more, but with you, I will never be content.
He planted a seed and watched it sprout.
But you have forsaken Him; just wait until there’s drought.
Pouring into all endlessly, my love too, never exhausts.
Because He is the giver of all, and the reason all are uncrossed.

Temptation
by Ken Ripley
Adam knew that he was cheating
when he saw what he was eating.
"What a pity," he said, "now man is disgraced.
But my oh my what pleasant taste."
Forgive Me
by Frangipani Rhett
It's so much easier to pretend it isn't true
There's no way I could do that
I don't have that sort of desire
But as much as it hurts me I can't imagine how it hurts you
The evil inside of me was great even then
You'd think I was too young
I couldn't think that
But it's awful and I'm hardly taking it in

Sorry
by Otteri Selvakumar
I'm mistaken
My words
To you
I'm sorry
But...
Why you ...
Did not accept
My sorry?
Sorry

Despairing Exaltation
by Alexander Palmer
I slept beside the devil
her wax flesh melted into mine
the air was rust, long dried blood,
the air was fine red wine,
she was a god in her own right
a transgression divine.
desperation, our preservation,
etched into my skin
prayer marks, satanic symbols,

The beast within
by Saleh Ben Saleh
There is a beast,
that lives within.
In every man,
