The Ghost's Last SongThe Ghost's Last Song   
The midnight shadow in my heart  shrouds me from your empty sight.  Though I'm with you all the night,  you feel alone, we are apart.   
From my tomb my spirit did depart,  with silent steps it took to flight.  The midnight shadow in my heart  shrouds me from your empty sight.   
On that dark hour my haunt will start  and I will drift in the moonlight.  And though I shimmer bold and bright  still my presence cannot impart  the midnight shadow in my heart. The Ghost's Last Song

Stars became lines as my eyes blurred,  hard and rough like a thousand cuts  across the sky, stinging the inky blackness  with gashes of light.  I had to cry out  a flare of sound like acupuncture pinpricks  and icicles frozen to my lips.  Still the sun bleeds through the skin of eyelids,  wake up now the monsters are gone.  But my closet's still in shadows  
and the doors are closed.  I find lions in alleys  and cars in jungles,  but the fires are everywhere.  I sing the wrong words on purpose,  blah blah black goats.  Creep around the old thi Danger

I thought I handled it well,  watching you take a different turn,  giving it a fight,  telling it all the cliché's you could come up with.  I thought,  
Hey, I know that band,  the one playing down the street,  killing the notes, soldering the notes –  
steel and cement.  Then I wrote some angry words  
all over my walls and God said,  
"You're only making all these messes.  Have you ever thought about cleaning up?"  I like the dirt. It makes me feel real.  So I thought I'd hang onto the chains,  but He said, "Get off the carousel, kid." Catalyst

This is my reverent night.  The clouds keep blocking my stars.  The cherry blossoms are fading out to green leaves.  All our birds have gone to bed.  When will our crickets chime in?  My little musicians of the night,  always singing me to sleep?  Dark earthen soil seems all black in this non-light.  Dreamers inside won't miss me  as I leave footprints in the dirt  
and feel cement chilling my toes.  Our winds press hard against my back  and still my stars are out of sight. Quiet

Back?

Well I was never really gone... just quiet and lurking. Been crazy busy with crap lately, augh.

But! I am doing NaNoWriMo again this year and I have a much better story lined up than I did the previous two years, so I think maybe this time I'll actually succeed! It doesn't have a title yet, but I'm getting there.

Also I've been thinking about poetry with forms lately... as evidenced by my Halloween rondel. It's really hard for me to write poetry with forms and rhyming schemes. I'm used to just letting it flow. It's kinda fun.

The first chapter of my novel Dark Sun is just about finished (and by that I mean that I've just about finished editing it for the fifty-second time), so I might actually post that some day. The rest of the novel is written, but is totally messed up since I changed a bunch of stuff. Which is kind of annoying 'cause now I have to go through and re-write everything. Bah.

In other life-related news, I'm currently a college student again (what the?) and am really determined to actually finish this time. Getting a degree in Computer Information Systems (yay for programming!) and spending a lot of time at school and doing homework. I am still unemployed (boo) and way too poor to afford much of anything.

And um... that is all. So Happy Halloween, even if I'm a bit late. D:
