I am defined
by a half naked body
sprawled across
a bed draped
and drenched
in mess.
I am free
from watchful eyes
behind closed doors
and under
the silhouette
of your bones.
I am captured,
tied down
by your hands,
my screams,
the scent
of a passion
I've longed to
taste
and never
want to
escape.

Sin, that's a good subject to write about. Your confession is very good. You are human.

Cleverly crafted and leads us into the fiery throws of the chosen sin, Lust. Well done and best of luck.

I like how you express yourself on the subject matter. Love the subtle explisiveness that the imagery represents. Very tastefully done. Good luck in the contest. God Bless, Jo-Ann
