Where Evil Lives Poem by Deborah Downes
Where Evil Lives
Evil, like a virus, cannot survive outside the living
It does not dwell in the dark places of legend
but in the dark spaces of the mind.
And when the opportune moment arises
it rushes into the soul.
While it waits for that moment
the mind feeds it with obsessive thoughts and delusions
Until it has grown strong enough to leave this nourishing womb
and take stronghold in places where love dwells.
And if love has not been sustained
Evil exerts its dominance
as it takes permanent residence in the heart.
Creepy poem... I like it. Again, nice imagery. I can just imagine the scene in my head. Thaks, keep writing! Athena *** words will change the world ***
