I have always maintained that the greatest villains are far more complex than we give them credit for, showing both regret and satisfaction with regard to their evil deeds. This challenge is, therefore, right up my alley.
I've chosen to write about Sauron from J.R.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I hope that Tolkien would approve as I have such deep respect for him.
His all-seeing eye
looks left and right,
back and forth,
scanning the horizon
for enemies...
and his long-lost love
He thirsts for the destruction
of rebellious creatures –
those who seek to destroy him in turn
Yet he pines
in the same breath
for a love that once was,
a love that
may never be
He dreams of a time
long-lost
in the ebb and flow
of his ego
Oh, for his love to return,
that they may exchange rings
more powerful than the One,
that they may rule
together
