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

I too believe everyone has skeletons in their closet, therefore everyone has a dark side. Excellent poem, I enjoyed the read Brian.---Melvina---

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~

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?

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
