Evil

I simply decided to try to put some words together, that conjured images of an evil, sick person. It's nobody that I know, in case you are wondering.

I haven't heard from you

In quite some time

Are you hunkered down

In your twisted lair?

Plotting, grinning?

All of the trees around you have died

Nothing can live

In your venomous world

That gives you asylum

From God's wrath

Misery thrives  

In the decay of your mind

A beast within

That can only be squelched 

By the cosmos death

Dwell on in your cave

With your saccharine smile

You will have some explaining to do

The next time

There's a knock at your door

Author's Note

I have absolutely no idea where this came from, or what inspired me to write it. It is simply my attempt to bring to mind, true evil in a person. Perhaps it comes from my years of service in law enforcement. But rest assured, everything is okay in my mind.....I 'm not slipping over the edge here.....lol.

I am glad to hear that you are not, as you wrote, "slipping over the edge." :)

It really was quite a strange poem to read but I guess one sees some pretty evil people when one is working in law enforcement, and perhaps there was a particularly bad one, just needing to be written about. Or possibly there were a number people, but all much the same, so that the end result was just this really evil creature ... At any rate, I think you achieved what you set out to do.
The last two lines took me by surprise but were a great ending.
Look forward to reading more of your writing.

Thank you very much, Lizbeth. It's a weird poem, that is normally out of character from what I write. I appreciate the review.

That's fine, and it's good to see things that are totally different from the usual ... I am often amazed to see how an idea develops from the first line to the end.L

Besides, it's good to step out of the box, and sometimes write something that is so foreign to what you normally write.
