Demon In White Angel In Black

I could have told those ever close twin sisters that I was listening to their siren-laced warnings. One with locks of raven and the other gold as a gold-studded sun. What an ethereal, dream like haven that these two have chosen to come undone. Listening to me, waiting for me to say something.

                                                   Warnings that fill my ear drums
                                                      Coming to test out my mind
                                              I told them I would listen in silence

One of them is already laughing at me, shilling at every word that I have to say. The other puts her hands on my shoulders and comforts my weak, cringing soul. They both serve the purpose and compliment one another, this I already know. Hear the tones and colors on their influences.

                                            Similar to the two wolves in the tale
                                            One the yin and the other is the yang
                                           Alpha and Omega, constantly circling 

Flowing fabrics laying across both of their beautiful shells. One with bat wings and the other with white doves swaying at her back. I'm sure that you've figured that by now, one from heaven and the other from hell. Listen to me, because they keep on fighting inside my head

                                            Present since the beginning of my life
                                            I have tried to inform new visitors
                                           The Demon in White and Angel in Black

A great message. And for the most part I enjoyed the read. However I feel that the middle line of your last prose was a little too obvious, your title had already stated this for you. I would also prefer to see less syllables in your haiku. Anyway, I would like to thank you for entering my contest, and while this piece has not made my top 20, I will be giving it a honourable mention. That way others will be able to follow the link, and enjoy your words.

I love the idea of good and evil fighting a battle in your head. Sometimes I feel like there's a battle going on inside my own head. Cool poem!
