vanity.. definately my favourite sin...

velvet I site

placed on hold
for saving grace
in vanity's chasted, sacred place
with riddles bold
of mythic lace
the story's sold
to hasten pace

the martyr told
by children old
of Nature's race
through hot and cold
to wash the face
of rawking mold
with mystic mace

the queen imbued, up to his waste
a flagship hold
of loving paste
that binds his taste
to a lacking gold
of pleasure's fold
that caused the strife, of which she rolled

so he fled, in Mercurial haste
from the one, his heart was based.

Isn't that a line from"The Devil's Advocate" with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino??

Why not try something original like"The Deadliest Sin Of All" or something of that nature!
