Quest For Fire: Dust Yellow and Shadow Black

What are these dark thoughts that crowd my mind?
Day and night, although indistinguishable, all the time
Will I be able to leave that open horror behind
Those dark musings and ponderings coated by dark grime
Sometimes in the seething silence these reflections creep up on me
Tangibly tasted like nectar of poison flowers
Why do they pass over the George, Jacks, and Tommys
To hover and circle like ravens and vultures above my shadowy bowers?
I know I cannot live completely in the sun
For under my bleached pale exterior is a soul stained by spiderweb cracks
Yet in total darkness I become lost and my essence is undone
Is it true darkness and an ebony soul that I lack?
Are we creatures of contrast and confliction?
Answer me now, reply in one million years
Destroy and rebuild my empty state of dereliction
Because all the pain I've gathered can turn up no tears
No soothing cold or refreshing calmness I need
You cannot hear me implore or plead
I'm searching for light, but instead find fire
And so in the end I discover the heat of kinship I desire
Ai, my gatito, why cannot you leave my mind? Why do you stalk upon the beams and linger in the alcoves of this consciousness?
*sigh*
Written at night, which I find greatly improves the cooperation of my muse... grrr. He always did prefer to stay in the dark.

But I don't like where it says although indistinguishable (Mostly because I have no idea how to pronounce it lollll)
