The Dark Side Of Moon Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

The Dark Side Of Moon

Rating: 5.0


When I stand before the mirror
to my horror
I find I have lost me

stares back at me
Sherlock

though I hate him
he warms up to me
takes me in his reins
morose eyes twinkly
gait sprightly

I become him
waken and in dream
memorizing his line
making his habits mine

like him I sprint
trails of footprint
and in all his fantasy

I'm no more me.

He scares
haunting in nightmares
one part
one heart
one role

He steals my soul.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A tribute to Jeremy Brett who played Sherlock Holmes.
Jeremy once admitted 'Holmes has become the dark side of the moon for me. He is moody and solitary and underneath I am really sociable and gregarious. It has all got too dangerous'.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Sherlock - my favorite detective. He is very moody - but I love his intelligence, his deductive reasoning. His creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, was a brilliant man. Enjoyed your poem very much.
