Cliff Black
I stand on the edge of this cliff in the pitch black,
I wish I could change how this all went down and go back,
But I can’t and I deserve to pay the penalty,
So I close my eyes and fall, as my soul escapes me for eternity.
Literature
perennial
grief visits me today.
he watches as i write about you,
putting his hand on my arm
to stop the words
from shaking.
the river of veins is a blue glare
beneath his waxen skin, the valleys
under his eyes dark with our shared
misery.
i don’t ask where he’s been, or why
he’s suddenly back. i don’t want to know
who else he’d been with
when he was gone.
“you look better,” he says, pulling my hand
from the notebook. he
kisses it, holds it to his cheek.
the weaker parts of my spirit surge at his cold
familiarity.
i trace the arch of his lips to avoid
his eyes, ask him if he’d forgotten

the ghost
I don't know what I'm waiting for,
because I am a ghost and yet
I sit on my hands and wonder
where you've been -
I walk the forest in circles,
the methodical crunch
of leaves beneath my feet
and I remember
that you made me feel small,
and alone. here I am, facing
this brilliant hue that is me and myself
and I am the ghost but somehow
you are haunting me.
Literature
draptomania
they say he grows roses in the devil's garden
that he dances a clockwork vaudeville, a sinner's penance.
that he's a man of of dirty knees and sweaty palms,
howling a name that isn't mine. that he's
a special matter of calamity with a dormant heart and a lucent mind.
a hollow man, a transgression,
a bare and tremulous traveller

This was a weird one as I don't know where this really came from or what this exactly means. I just closed my eyes a couple hours ago and my mind just sort of conjured up this image. I've been playing with storylines in my head and wonder what brought it on. To further my confusion I leave this quatrain open ended for more interpretations.
And on a random note: Kanye West's Yeezus isn't my style. Not that anyone really cares or likes the dude (Seems like everyone hates 'im. ROFL), but I just heard the whole album and it's just too vain for me. The lyrics aren't dark enough for the production. Still seems to me like a "fake revolution" of sorts, but Bound 2 is dope. I told y'all I listen to everything. Ha!

I really like this! It gave me a great mental image, and actually, I imagine this quite often when I listen to music... O.O
