English: A stereotypical caricature of a villain (i.e. generic melodrama villain stock character, with handlebar moustache and black top-hat). (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The villain
Knows his extent of
Wickedness
Calculates
Every knife stab here
To the heart
Clever ruse
Compensates him for
Truer heart
Left alone
When the games are done
Does he fear
All is lost
Tricked his own way through
To his grave?

I like it! So mysterious! 🙂
Thanks Briana, so much appreciated!! 🙂
Such is the life of a villain.
Thank you so much! 🙂
The only thing that kept running through my mind was…what if we truly understood the evil that we were capable of…I think we’d all be scared. I think we each have the choice to be the Villain at one time or another, what we will choose? Wow…that sounds really dark…sorry. But at least you know you made me ponder some things! lol
Thank you so much, really appreciated! 🙂 I think we are all a mixture of light and dark and the key thing is what we choose to make of that. 🙂
Coises! Foiled again!
LOL!!! Exactly!!! Thanks so much!! 🙂
Okay …. I’m going to age myself now… but I used to watch Snidely Whiplash… on Dudley Do Right…. LOL….
Great piece hon 🙂 huggs
So did I…all the great cartoon villains…LOL! Thanks!! 🙂
I sometimes write stories with other writers and I love being the villain, I never imagined how popular my villains would be in the role playing community haha
LOL, a bit like actors say they love playing the villain in movies and tv series too…I guess there’s always such layers of motivation involved! 🙂
Ha! Ah, yes the double edge sword of sweet revenge.
LOL..yes, very true!! 🙂
