Ebony and Ivory

By Spoot

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Ebony tears I have shed for you down pale ivory cheeks, tinged with blue ebony thoughts laced with dull red anger bubbling inside of my head choking myself until I fly high on ivory wings into the sky lost in clouds of ebony storms my madness has so many forms pain until my mind is blank ivory wiped clear of thoughts of you... how it sets me free.I wrote this last night and.. I'm still not sure what it really means. I think it's kind of bad, though. D= Or it could just be that I just got done reading some of "The Oddest"s poetry. Anyone would feel unworthy after those exquisite pieces. Written March 4th, 2002 © on Mar 04 2002 08:54 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
