Latest Review: Your Soul Is Calling: Healing Our Ego Addiction by Jerry Hirschfield, Ph.D.
as the demon I always knew you were.
a smug smile painted on your perfect skin.
This has an eerie vibe that I love. I like the way you have introduced the person by calling them a 'demon', then focusing on the colour of their eyes, using the strong verb 'bore' to give the sense of feeling vulnerable and menaced by them.
The entire poem reads like a mix between a short story and free verse poetry, which is an interesting choice of style. I'm not all too familiar with poetry, and I haven't seen this before.
You have an element of mystery of what this menacing person is capable of by emphasising the word 'what' while staying focused on the person themselves, as indicated by the 'you'. It creates a strong emotional atmosphere of tension that draws in the reader.
