Capital Vices

Envy, 

she glowed a forest’s supple, 

luminescent lanterns afloat,  

in search for him. 

Wrath, 

she reached for a heated throng, 

her fiery pair of rubies gleaming, 

singing of euphoria,  

tempting him with  

Lust, 

so delicately alluring, 

beckoning a purr. 

Pride, 

she toddled with him in glory 

through eventide heat, 

her pompous unraveling dance. 

Gluttony, 

he consumed her  

and she him, 

lavishly, 

in searing musk. 

Sloth,  

their adrenaline spent 

over a span of 7 days, 

they slept,  

flippant at the luxury sheets. 

Greed, 

she wrapped him 

up in satin lace, 

and kept him for her own taste.

Intriguing piece speaking of the seven deadly sins. I enjoyed every word; especially the last stanza. Wonderful.
