torn

to feel, these emotions know no time

trapped in a vortex of space and time

they bubble under my flesh, hot with pain

torn from soaring among the jagged mountains

I try to escape me but I cannot

no journey will take me away from what's right here

the smell so fresh 

the surface is filled with these memories

moments of everlasting faces and words haunt me

to become a ghost or to conjure a space that will ease this flood 

even the grave cannot take these thoughts 

they are mine that I must wear

A jagged mountain of a burden
That's what these words feel like to me

[Tony Jordan]

Slightly torn myself at the start by seemingly contradictory sentiments in lines one and two re time. If its trapped in time then it is subject to - or at least experiences and therefore 'knows' time surely.
These lines made my head nod in that 'oh yesss!' way ~
'...they bubble under my flesh, hot with pain
torn from soaring among the jagged mountains...' - wow!
The feeling of wanting to tear from the roots that bind is very clear. I could feel this one.
