Shadow Dance

The silhouette of my vessel

The shade by my side

My dark reflection

The space from which I cannot hide

Manifesting into my thoughts

Taunting dark curiosities

Forbidden desires

Less favored philosophies

There is a War within myself

Wrong vs. Right

My enemy is my shadow

My urges are my fight

My inner demons shadow box

The light the reason and the way

My shadow two steppin with the Devil

Dancing one step away

You have described very well feelings when dealng with your conscious mind...I am sure many will relate exactly with this.... If we can't trust our very own shadow who can we trust....

As I've said in some of my other reviews of your work, good use of rhythm and rhyme. I will always appreciate a poet who is musical.

The theme is a classic one, but it is treated well here. The last four lines in particular make nice use of metaphor, and it works very well as an ending. Good work, overall.

Very good the words you wrote really brought this poem to life and made it so vivid and you can just feel the pain and the emotions

Your eloquence breathes forth the shadows and the light within us all. Passions longing for their place, embracing or forcing away. All life is such a dance of desires... of cold winds and fires. May your dance bring you into a sunlit garden of delight each day, precious poet.

Whats that old saying? Everyone has two dogs fighting inside themselves, which one you feed more wins. Good job.

[AYVID N]

Every human has a dark side and untold secrets tucked away in their closets.

This is an excellent potrayal of the inner demons that we all strive to slay.

Very elegantly written. Thanks.
