Desert Chocolate Island

Oh Isle of embattled shore's 
Coast's abound of glass shale sand
Below protracted marsh land
Where boats of the conquerors once moored 
Where fish in the summer was cooked and caught 
Area 51 actuaries research 
Set upon a temporary bush camp perch
Lurching forward swiping away the tinder fire smoke 
Away from tired red cry eyes
Searching for rescue ships in the distance 
Paradise drifts
Writing S.O.S in large letter's 
Message in a Bottle
What time is it ?
What day is it ?
Why did I leave ?
Is the world really round ?
Or Flat ?
Am I ever going back ?
Is anyone ever coming back ?
Or have I fallen off the grid? 
Like Air Malaysia Flight MH370
Is this Heaven ?
Who am I talking 2? 
Am I Me ?
Or am I You ?
Who is writing this ?
The Survivor? 
Or the best Guess? 
Like a passport in a furnace 
Of destroyed evidence 
The only piece 
In a inquest process
