Criminal Minds

Nicholas Burress
A mind is a terrible thing to waste with such bland depiction.
However, the mind of a criminal is where we will make our conviction:

Deafening;
The cries of devils who strike the hearts of Men, reverberating limb to limb.
Tantalizing, but destroying life and innocence on a mere whim.

Frightening;
Craving a sane's strength with a madman's rage,
Just locking the fear, drowning in its own cage.

Frivolously;
Jumping into the actions more inane, but daring.
Facing death and corruption more fool, but flaring.

Destructive;
Prying out the lives of the innocent with ruthless ambition,
Finding that sinister ideal that will come to catastrophic fruition.

Intricate;
A labyrinth of deep carnage with no prowling minotaur.
The only true monster is the one gazing and grinning from afar.

Illusive;
Being able to find those scenarios to slip away undetected.
An art that brings life to hiding shadows and is strived to be perfected.

Cryptic;
Always being able to stay in the realm of the unknown,
Only after the moment is right, they allow themselves to be shown.

Obsessive;
No chance to counter the with the master's biggest plan.
The arrow to a flawless success will be known throughout the land.

Striving;
As much as darkness fights to take the mind away.
It is the individual that will lead them astray.

Cautious;
To the point of being too careful, leaning toward a paranoid whimsy.
Hiding in the darkness, waiting for the perfect moment to leap in a frenzy.

Alluring;
Tempted to the material things that easily come.
However, this is where they fail to see to what extent of their 'harmless' fun.

As easy as it is to become something that is easy to find.
These are the descriptive features that can portray the perfect criminal mind.

    Thank you all for your comments. Do you think this kind of style could be successful? I'm planning on writing a couple more using it.
