Floating through the hours in golden fields and golden light

with years passed in blues and sorrow and numbness

Listening to muted songs and voices as the silence grows louder

Skin burning from starvation and chill

Fear eats the soul no longer living

Anger fuels the mind still reeling

For how can one person be this alone

when surrounded by golden fields and golden light

quotefeeling:

“I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists. One where my heart is full. My body loved. And my soul understood.”

Melissa Cox

The Knife of uncertainty bleeds me dry

As I stand on the precipice,

Aware of the blood rushing through my veins

Aware of my heart beating in my chest

Aware of my skin too tight on my bones


The Whip of sorrow stings my back

As I stare at the ocean beneath the cliff

Drying the cold tears on my cheeks

Clotting my bleeding arms

Soothing the burns on my shoulders


The chill of tomorrow ices my bones

As I try to balance on broken feet

With unstable grounds, shaking

With a knife at my throat

With a whip piercing my skin


I hold out my hand to someone

Anyone

What do I do with this pain?

What do I do with myself anymore?

I am a walking hollow shell of person

Buried under the cold, uncertainty and sorrow

n-ehpamoi:

Bring me the eternal fade of dusk //

Deliver me there, far from the tyranny
of the light of the golden sun –
from where eyes I do not,
and cannot see,
might chance upon me –

Deliver me far and away
from the awareness
of gawking fools
and presumptuous men –

Give me a twilight that stretches on –
far into the gentle grasp
of eternity //

To spaces forever between,
where I might see but not
be seen –
neither here
         nor there,
caressed in dull oranges and
     dreary purple skies
