This poem was the result...
Half man, half monster
All gleaming tarnished brass
He stands watch before the gates
His twin at his side
His exact likeness in metal
Possessing the same distorted beauty
Showing the beast in a half smile
Exposing fangs and snake-like tongue
Never looking at each other
Never directly meeting anyone’s gaze
Heavy-lidden glances and snarls quickly hidden
Only the intruder sees the truth behind their faces
The menace lurking behind the metal
The nightmare only peeking from within the brass
It’s the last thing trespassers ever see
Right before they flee in terror
Trying to escape from the horror encased
Something far worse than each growling visage
No one else sees that terrible truth
Which only the guilty behold
The innocent don’t even know it’s there
Those invited barely give the guardians a glance
Noting only that they could use a polish.
Gotta lotta nadda, dear...
