An Angel and a Devil
Wage war within my soul
One fights for survival
The other, for control

They both keep winning battles
Though they never win the war
Each one learning lessons
Each one becoming more

Without one there is no other..
For who would wage a war
If there were no opposition
If no one were keeping score?

No different point of view?
Now that would be a boring place..
If we were all the same of thought
Of color and of race..

Yet within our differences
We all remain the same
Like the Devil and the Angel
Caught up in this foolish game..

"Devil or angel, I can't make up my mind...."
That song just popped into my ears and I'm trying really hard to "shake it loose and let it fall"
OMG!!! I am "stuck in a moment of time"

    
Someone needs to exorcise me, NOW!
Hope no one sees me as I exit stage left, as usual.

This is a wonderful poem gal.....
(I really thought it might be about this fantasy I have with Earth Angel)......I guess there's no reason to explain who's the angel and who's the devil....

This is one of the best, if not the best you've written in my opinion....I guess everyone of us can relate easily to this.

Tammy, I believe this to be my personal favorite of all your wonderful poetry that I have had the pleasure of reading. I am giving it a home in my library of poems that have special meaning for me.

~ special hugs for this special poem!

.........After posting this reply, I read the one Toe wrote. Funny thing is, when I read the title of your poem, I too, had the fleeting thought of Toe and I. tehe...and yes, dear Toe if you happen to read this reply, everyone knows who is the angel and who is the devil. Now please excuse me, as I must now go sharpen my pitchfork! hehe

Tammy,
this is stunning in its construction and warming in its theme.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Tammy, I really relate to this....I think all of us have a little of both in us, don't you?!? (Maybe just not as much of one of them as Mr. Toe has...HeeHee!!)

I personally dont enjoy getting into arguments myself and see no constructive result of them. But this is a very cute poem and i enjoyed it.

I have sent you nothing but angels, and I have placed nothing but miracles before you.

Thanks to all for your wonderful replies! Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but my computer had a meltdown and I'm regulated to my libraries public access for now!!! OH well..my computer was old anyway and I'm looking forward to getting a new Dell for Christmas!! Until then, I'm afraid I won't get in here very often...but I will be thinking about you all every day and counting the hours until I  can again join you on a more regular basis.
Peace,love,light, and happiness to ALL!!
Tammy
