Poem:
The heart’s most sought desire is the misfortune on another’s stage,
The irony, agony, sorrow, and pain,
A series of unfortunate events and a tragic end spelled out on the page,
Victims of time, reality, are a delicacy most craved,
Death and disaster are willed upon another’s fate,
A heady concoction for the lost hearts of the depraved,
Broken bone and spilled blood is their most relaxing bathe,
Harsh truths, cruel commands, wicked lies, they design,
Bashing, bruises, breaking, is their favourite game with the stave,
Bitter sweet suffering, lament, they coax,
Misfortune of others, a paradisiacal high,
Manipulating and gaslighting they create a hoax,
To snatch the most sort after pleasurable sight,
They whisper ideas that fester to make dry eyes cry,
Get off when they discover little lamb’s plight,
Another’s misery, is a wailing symphony of delight for their ears,
Vampiric in nature, they feed off your chaos and scars,
Another’s pain, is a most rich flavour the mouths’ palate reveres,
These sadistic demons are omens of disaster, tragedy seers. - Poet's Bio: What was once said has been done. Yet when you speak of it again, it has just begun.
