Luminous Confessional - collected!

 I thought I should tackle something holy - something else besides the Luminous Mysteries... so I dared: I dared tackle SINS. And the Deadly ones at that! Okay, technically, it's truly something FORBIDDEN... Oh Lord, Have Mercy...

See the comments section for each of the Seven Deadly Sins - luminous style, quite literally, yes!


Here is a poem, meanwhile, to keep some out there content...!
(A writer has to cater to his readers' requirements, aye!)



°°°
"All About Loving"

"Love can be redundant as well
and so its ring is that of a familiar bell
the chimes of which enchant us, hypnotize
as mermaid chants many a sailor enticed
We are powerless before this incantation
for, deep down, we all crave passion
How do we fight off our own yearnings?
Verily - to do so would be self-defeating!
Aye, the torment a lover feels is unrivalled
Blending in longing, loving, lusting
and when the hope in a void becomes mired
it is then that we slowly begin expiring."

on the very first installment and

For this first, humblest edition, I shall confess to offenses in relation to the WORST -no less- of the Seven Deadly Sins... Envy!
It is the worst one in my book anyways...!

And so... forgive me, Father In Heaven, for I have sinned...
I envy my so-called brothers and sisters' ability to simply NOT WORRY...
I envy Aquaman's ability to summon and command all the creatures of the deep...
I even envy -in a most commoner way of all- Superman's basic ability to "fly - up, up and away"! (I only wish he could do it in a non-metrosexual way - and, maybe, with some of Hawkman's chest hair popping out, somehow, from that blue leotard he wears all the time, too? Or is such an amalgam too much to ask for? Ask DC... DC's bread-and-butter is Batman, still, after all these batty years... At least I do not envy Bats' ability to... be Batty? What else can he do, really? But I digress...)
I envy my neighbors' immediate neighbors - because my immediate neighbors suck! Or used to... It only gets better really when they are taken away, one by one, four by four or ten by ten - by the police! More on that in a future post, here, on TLB Prime! :)
I envy my envy - because it is more consistent than even my stance on any given subject, almost... yes, really! It doesn't get any worse than that, I do believe - when one envies one's own envy!!! But I am probably digressing again - or just about to - so I'll stop... and move on!

I'd suggest any belligerent accidental visitor to TLB Prime -especially- and any regular visitor (i.o.w. any L.O.V.) to comment on this any which way they can - even here: in My Luminous Guestbook

Just as a certain "jssjqkq" did, not too long ago... (Coward!)
But that is another story...

Next up - next sin... Lust!  
Oh that will be good... for you, not for me!

But a bonus now (unforeseen but so very good - you will see... and hear!) 

ALL OF THE MUSIC (well, almost all) THAT HAS INSPIRED THIS POEM AND MANY OTHER POEMS JUST LIKE IT...  Enjoy!

PRIDE...

Has there ever been something so shameful
as to have been of oneself so full
that to declare "woe to the world"
becomes some kind of second nature?
No man is an island unto himself
And no woman is an ocean that can
eternally replenish herself...!
We need one another on this earth
- to deny that is to deny one's true worth
that of being luminous in earnest
as one of many Children of God.

ENVY

To envy this, to envy that
can there be any triter thing than that?
For all things in the world that we can envy -
be it material goods or alleged qualities
are but ephemeral traits of vanity!
That does not mean we may envy
that which pertains to eternity!
No - envy not, I am telling thee!
Acknowledge what you do possess
and that which you desire, you may assess
but, then, in a constructive way -yes!-
work towards the best possible combination
of both of these sources of adoration!
Only then will you attain serenity
and rid yourself of all pernicious envy!
Oui! Si!

WRATH

It is so easy to succumb and get angry
giving way to your righteous wrath and folly
You may be right, you may be wrong, actually...!
Either way, you regret acting so decisively.
For giving in to rage comes with many risks
And you will not do so with impunity.
If being poised, quiet and just is too much for thee
you will find that unleashing your wrath is not the key.
Strive for self-control you must
unless you want to speed up your return to dust.
Wrath can only lead to error and regret
For you cannot mete out justice just like that

SLOTH

It is ridiculously easy to give in to sloth
Stay home, do nothing, within the same cloth!
Why bother doing anything, you may tell yourself
justifying your inaction by forgiving your lazy self
But, deep in your heart, you know that isn't right
That such procrastination cannot find vindication
nor is such weakness actual might!
For there is truth to old adages, see;
pennies saved are pennies earned, virtually
but fructifying them through concrete action is true glee!
And satisfaction will never be obtained
when one is but laying around, living in vain!
All that glitters is not gold
Do not succumb for fool's gold!
Nothing will ever come so easy
without necessitating some effort from thee!
Remember this and strive on dutifully;
your sacrifices will pay off
while your lackadaisical ways will surely not!

GREED

What does it accomplish, ultimately,
to amass fortune... riches... all manners of things, great and small
when you have done so simply to satisfy your foolishness
to own everything there is while depriving all?
There is enough for everyone, verily,
and there should never be too much at once.
There is much good to learn from temperance!
Leave some for the rest - be your best!
Do not strive to own as much as you can -
strive to own up and be human!

GLUTTONY

There is such a thing as palatable
and we all love to sit at a fine table!
But to overindulge in everything
is truly not the smartest thing!
How will you be remembered, do you think?
You will leave the impression of such a fiend!
With poor manners and savagery,
no one will think fondly of thee!
For your own legacy, then, I beg thee
think of your health and of memory
eat with moderation - avoid gluttony!

LUST

Aye, yes; your gaze can glisten with it
And you may even get away with it!
A mere tryst here, another one there...
With some precaution, no contamination!
But what of your true self, in right measure
while you seek and live out all pleasure?
Give it some thought and it will stop you in your tracks
while you fend off a 1001 sex maniacs!
Your libido is but a reflection of you;
believe you me, your soul is not a nympho!
Copulation in overdrive can only dull your senses
and then, what happens?
You cease enjoying - that's what it is!
You become blasé - straight or gay!
To love with the soul is so much more than
and discover that you must, before the end!
Love not with your eyes; that is just desire
Loving with your heart is the true empire!
