I can see no Islands
Across the glittering sea
My mind is alone within itsself
Playing among the sands
No thaught, no reason
Only feeling, in sepia light
Everything is distant and dreamy
Like a smile from long ago
The nagging emptiness
drowned out by shimmering birdsong
the feelings of dread engulfed
by something worse
Beauty so sinister
A dark whispering among the lights
painful euphoria
and the urge to escape
I washed up here again
so soon after I built my raft and set sail
Hypnotised by the sound of crashing waves
on the island of the lotus eaters
