Coming...Going...

I had never 

thought of sin,

until it knocked at my door.

I opened,

and it told me,

it was

a special delivery

for me.

They never warned me

before.

Had i known

what it was,

i would have hidden

in a corner,

pretend,

i am not home.

After that day,

it happened

more and more.

Until

she learned

i would not open,

and entered through

the chimney.

I had never thought of guilt,

until Sin itself

told me,

i should.

It took me

by surprise,

and then

i thought about it.

Before i knew,

another knock,

but this time on

my window.

I opened it

and there Guilt stood,

i offered it

a drink,

a sip of decadence,

out of my spirits well.

It got greedy.

It wanted more.

And i could tell.

From tonight,

i leave my window open.

Who knows

what else might come?

I look into the eyes

of the full moon,

and feel so foolish.

I fell asleep,

but dreams

had lost their

attitude.

I dwelled alone,

fumbling

in this abyss

of uncertainty.

When i woke up,

there was a letter

on my lap.

In golden letters,

blood of te sun,

it said,

my innocence

was leaving me,

and then it said:

''Fare well''

Sin and guilt

had shut

their mouth,

not knowing what to say.

I put the letter on my desk,

and sadly walked away.

"I had never thought of guilt,

We live our life obeying rules create by men who knew little. In the new world. Nothing is hidden. Sin and guilt was forced upon people for many generation. There are things we should not do. Steal, kill and lies are the way to being alone. I like this poem a lot. Open the doors to many questions. Sin and guilt is a part of us. A excellent poem.
