Dare to see the dark in me
Suits of armor wait to joust
Eyes in portraits move to see

greatly written the stanza- Stroke my ego, don't be shy Give my id his equal pay Watch the serpent slither by My alter ego's chance to play /// love it
I love this one and without any hesitation am adding it as my favourite
There's a likeness to a snake, representing 'The bad in me' Image apon image, speaks of the dark corners, the sinister side. A bit Edgar Allan Po well done again Would need a copy to say more, but certainly found rich imagery here Daphne G
Someone long ago told me that each and every one of us, has something that we would rather not share with others...that dark side of us... You've been very honest here, and you've done a great job with your poem. Very nicely done Brian! ! Hugs, Dee
Classical feeling to your writes... I enjoy the Freudian inferences.. John
I too believe everyone has skeletons in their closet, therefore everyone has a dark side. Excellent poem, I enjoyed the read Brian.---Melvina---
I loved this poem, dark, mysterious and exciting! Everyone has a dark side! CJ
Stumbled upon this poem and I'm glad I did. Very nice. I love the fact that it's talking about a persons other side, and secrets. Everyone has skeletons in their closets, but hardly any admit it. ~Linley~
We've all got some of this stuff concealed as well as we can from the world at large. Brave and challenging write. Inspiring reading as always.
Wow this is my first read of this! It so aptly describes the dark side that resides in us! ! It's amazing Brian Karen xx
Richest of metaphors offered in direct language. Pure magic.
An eloquent and impressive poem full of clever metaphors. Quite a mediaeval feeling to the content...and dark for sure :) jack.
A-ha! so this is where the treasure is buried. Great, provocative piece, Brian. I loved the line about bookcase that hides your secrets - what we read tells so much about who we are, doesn't it.
I love your poetry, this poem in particular. 'The dark in me you haven't met Struggles loose in warring tugs' That phrase hit me way too close for comfort, but then, good poetrys not supposed to make you feel 'comfortable, ' is it?
Very creative poem Brian, bringer the reader into the poem, intense, wonderful. Thankyou Brian---Melvina----
Brian, Hello, I know it's been a while, but I just read this and thought you were talking about my house! haha Truly though, this is a fabulous poem. I love the pronounciation of the dark ages blended with today. Good one! Frank
