Russell by Linda V

His ancient eyes and wicked grin

Makes others want to gaze within

His demons deep not hidden well

His broken smile a subtle tell

His pain is masked with playful charm

No woman safe – each one disarmed

They want to hold him feel his fire

Burn in the rage of his desire

The walls he built too tall to see

The truth behind his mystery

The empty vessels in his bed

Have empty hearts and empty heads

He wants true love that will sustain

To eclipse the darkness of his pain
