Some days, only sometimes, I crawl outside myself, To wander the world's wonders, Peering through it, like a shelf. I walk the narrow road's way. Whisper, wispy, thin lies, To lead those astray, That don't see with their eyes. Burning in the light of the moon. My ethereal flesh is a sight to see, To touch it is a mortal sin, A taste would fill one with glee. I am no mortal in this form. I climb the highest height, To know I cannot watch, The ants, the world in fright. May I spread my wings of burden? Go where I am not wanted, To fill the world with fallacies, Mortify. Justify, the haunted. Time has run out for me. Dreams I can no longer pervade, To paint pictures, 'pon pulsing skulls, I hold a purgatory masquerade. I must return to be full of myself. As I watch the thick skinned carcass sleep, To know that what I am, Is a troubled man, pathetically counting sheep.

I wrote this in November of 2010. I love this one: it's dark, but it feels so nuanced, the rhyme scheme is great and the rhythm is cool. Not bad :)
