Lust

seven deadly sins installment

Like fire she smoulders,

consuming her victims one by one.

She creeps through the darkness,

letting the shadows conceal her.

Passion overtakes her as she draws nearer.

Driven by her self destructive desire for pleasure.

Her inordinate cravings for pleasure of the mind, body and soul.

Sex, power, image.

Simply tools used in order to quench the thirst she feels,

to take the edge off the hunger threatening to overtake her.

The curve of her spine, defined in the moonlight,

as she stalks her prey.

Oblivious, he succumbs to her suggestive charms.

She bats her eyelids, as he smiles down at her.

Slowly they become united, merging into one another.

They are one being for an evening, and then she moves on.

He may think there is a future, that there may be love.

She, however, knows there is only lust.
