Notes About The Poem

My 666th poem..lol! This poem is for women trapped in controlling relationships 

Svengali

Seduces the benighted then lifts the

Veil to reveal his Janus face; a demon

Entrapping lost souls in his clutches

Never fall under his spell. Beware!

Go confidently with your gut instincts

And trust it blindly. Don't be...

Lulled into the tangled web of the devil

Incarnate. Refuse to surrender to his control.

I am startled when I realize the most fervent supporters of a horrible politician or con-artist do not hear anything he says at all. "Run like hell!" I want to say, yet I know they will not hear me. Thank you for this one, Edward.
