Behind these two windows is my mind
Two women live there - I find
one is crazy, the other one kind

Who am I . . . .
I am nobody
The words and the music speak
Not me . . .

Concentrate on the kinder one.. let her grow.. the other will keep reducing bit by bit.. thank you for a nice write..
Powerful. Thanks.
All the best, Boonie
I like this a lot!!
I bet you'd find more if you were patient.
I find this photograph simply beautiful. It looks like something that Waterhouse might have painted. The color and light are marvellous. If I were the speaker of this poem, I would embrace both women. I would ask each one why she was here and what she had to tell me. I might find out too if there were any other vistors arriving and welcome them as well, for they are all guides in one way or another, aren't they?

What a lovely, thoughtful image and haiku. I can appreciate the dichotomy, as well. It is good to honor both.
~Deb
oh, this is strong, honest and real
I can relate! :)
thank you for your offering here. i can hardly stop looking at this image. unbelievable how it shifts from one face to the next.
i love the mystery of it. the powerful presence of both faces, depending on the viewers gaze.
we are all such complex creations.
i love the facination your words conjure up.
thank you for being here.
dynamite! the good witch and.or the bad witch... or i like to think that is who she is when she comes or has left...
oh wow.. the ku even rhymed! :) good one, Riette!
My Haiku Is Here:

Two very different poems. Interesting offering.
Not mutually exclusive I don't think :-)
I should say: I hope.
