Array ( [sid] => 24438 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => The Beauty of Sin [time] => 2003-10-05 15:35:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Let us sin once more before we enter hell,
Where all our sins recounted tell,
The painful stories of our lives.

Let every blasphemy and every lie,
From birth until the day we die,
Become visible upon our tired bodies.

Let us wear these sins like a jacket,
Littered with blood stains scarlet wet,
And holes and burns and rips.

Let every sin leave a mark upon our face,
And dull our eyes until no trace,
Of discarded innocence can be seen.

Let our names slowly pass from speech,
While we desperately look up and reach,
Towards the highest heavens aglow with light.

Let us sin no more once we leave hell,
Where all our purged sins loudly fell,
Absorbed into the holes and chasms there.

The Beauty of Sin

Let us sin once more before we enter hell,
Where all our sins recounted tell,
The painful stories of our lives.

Let every blasphemy and every lie,
From birth until the day we die,
Become visible upon our tired bodies.

Let us wear these sins like a jacket,
Littered with blood stains scarlet wet,
And holes and burns and rips.

Let every sin leave a mark upon our face,
And dull our eyes until no trace,
Of discarded innocence can be seen.

Let our names slowly pass from speech,
While we desperately look up and reach,
Towards the highest heavens aglow with light.

Let us sin no more once we leave hell,
Where all our purged sins loudly fell,
Absorbed into the holes and chasms there.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
