Like a shadow he enters my realm, my solitude
Darkening my thoughts and purging the light.
He whispers harsh, seductive, daring words
Pulling me to desperate action.
Planting a scene of scarlet blood
How marvelous the wonder,
How it longs to escape the captive body.
He lounges in my space, nesting like a vulture
Cackling, ridiculing, clawing for result.
Lucifer, he's called
With out a body to control
Oh, how he burns to make me pull the trigger,
Take a life
Take her life...
No, I say
You can't drag me down.
He strokes my cheek, moves in next door
Waiting, Watching, never giving up.

Hey, your poem intrigues me so i am giving you a large review
Okay everything is just a suggestion but i think if you split it into three stanza's, just the word Lucifer being the second it would be a lot stronger piece and also more eye catching.
Remeber everything is just a suggestion
If you need anything let me know.

Wow, this is really effective. It has an almost eerie feeling to it, it's really cool!
I wouldn't change much. This poem was written really well and it's very emotional. Keep up the good work!
Hey,
Any who I am back, and I really liked this poem. It paints a picture so perfectly and the imagery is on point. My only nit-pick was that maybe you should break it up in to stanzas or center it in the middle of the page.
good job.
Sorry I am so late with your request, but I was out visiting universities
Thanks for requesting a review I'll be on to the next poems you asked a review for, but if you need any others or any help feel free to PM or write on my wall.
P.S the links worked
Have a good day,

If you were going for an eerie tone, you certainly achieved it. Even though the protagonist (is it a protagonist in a poem?) denies Lucifer, I thought that these lines --
-- reflect a sort of innate but hidden curiosity concerning violence that people have. Scary. The ending was a little too abrupt I thought, but otherwise I like this.
