quasi & odd poetry: i am an island

I am an Island. 
An intricate, complicated island.  
Loved, missed, covered in warmth. 
I am an island. Surrounded.
 Surrounded by lonely, lonely hearts.
An oasis covered in sand.

I am an island bird, that’s forgotten flight. 
A poem without reason, 
A lifelong goal without plight. 
A reason without cause, a fateful end.
A moment, a moment, a Monet moment painting. 
A painting without light.

I am an island, an island bird, an island fern. 
I’ve burnt my bridges to the main land. 
I am thriving in the humid heat
Green, lush, fragile-handle-with-care, 
Browning before your eyes.
I am an island. 

In your eyes, I am a vast ruthless sea.
