A Poem about Sofia, as she looks across Deluvia
Away From Me
When I open my eyes ...
To the fabric that surrounds me ...
I realize with anxiety ...
My present reality ...
And it shocks me to be
Alone in this world
Not knowing how I got here
Not able to reverse.
And for the longest of periods
Content in this bubble
Not once, nor twice removed
From this frozen neurosis.
Depression sets in
And then fears set the loathing
For just outside this glass
I can see life's promenade.
But the dance, it stills
And touch, I cannot feel
And darkness descends
Across a passionless canopy.
My illness, my friend,
My lifelong enemy--
It is the blindness that keeps me
Away from me.

"Escape from the Noh" is a short-story that is a combination of sci-fi and horror. As a writer, I enjoy deconstructing genres to see where I can mix them for a synergistic effect. I welcome feedback and will be publishing my 300,000 word epic novel "The Messiah" on Steemit in 2017.
