They’re quite famous, so it will probably become apparent as I go along (or I might change my mind later and say anyway…). So anyway, wise Verily Aspie guessed in the comments already – this is Lust, of the Seven Deadly Sins.
The gateway to the seven stands right here.
You long to touch, but cannot quite commit
to all the things that you’re supposed to fear
(while this one claims it’s fine to just submit).
It’s natural to hope, it does no harm
to gaze upon what might, in time, be yours,
and how are you supposed to counter charm
designed to gloss (or venerate) its flaws?
You look, and look, and cannot look away;
spend all spare moments summoning the scenes.
Occasional indulgence has now swayed
to frequencies and formulas obscene.
And though you’re more than warmed now by this fire
you’ll gorge yourself on all you might desire.

I love this one. Captures that feeling of lust, longing, fear and gorging perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were referring to the 'seven deadly sins'. Maybe my nine years of Presbyterian Sunday school leeching through my life.
ReplyDeleteGOLD STAR FOR YOU! ⭐ Yes, it's lust of the seven deadly sins. Congrats!
DeleteI'm gonna be guessing what the seven entities are all day now lol y'see that's probably 'sloth' cos of my 'idle curiousity'. That's a misnomer IMO cos curiosity works quite hard.
