7 Deadly Sins: Greed
My mind is a black hole It consumes every bit of information that comes my way Relentlessly absorbing every new anything To the point that I am nothing Nothing but this black hole That is filled with everything Because even though I hold it all within my grasp I can not stop consuming long enough To use up what I already have

7 Deadly Sins: Gluttony
How much longing can one person suffer An endless turmoil of an empty lover One day I'll meet the eyes of someone filled with passion As it all spills from their lips Every dream they let out in a whisper I'll write them out in the stars So they can shine down and illuminate them Then they'll finally be able to see They are what makes the sky dance with light Soft lips to touch my cold hands A kiss to relight my inner flame With a lust I thought burned out All from the star I couldn't live without

7 Deadly Sins: Lust
I have gold coursing through my veins and silver flooding in my lungs that turn into richened glitter with every exhale My mind is a garden with exotic fauna to leave all who enter in awe My words are like the sharpest blades that pierce into a battlefeild of whirling lies My heart is a chasmic void to trap you in my sweetest lullaby For my poetry is the wing of a butterfly and a drop of poison all in one

7 Deadly Sins: Pride
If tomorrow I awoke in a hospital room To be told I'd been in a coma for most of my life I know I'd ask for five minutes more Because this dream has left me So tired, so exhausted Even if its all just been a long sleep It hasn't been long enough

7 Deadly Sins: Sloth
they’re pouring out of the woodwork those pretentious machiavellians in ailing albino frames eccentric masked figures milling about the glow light like night moths in a london fog lunatic gazers with seeping moles pinned by frogmen and twine spider climbers in hell fire splitting seams on the fading and hideous ink guards of the perch stand on hades hand while monsters and demons with severed limbs taunt the condemned and wanting souls of the ****** cauldron fire in blood red sky silent screams hack and wheeze gas lines broken words unspoken teetering backwards in the dark shadows of a phantom abyss

Lust (Haiku)
"A prisoner of acrobatics. A cosmic seed of bloomed vanity; a gentle sin. An indulgence of glim & glam, unable to cut the rope." || shoo.shu ||
