Life Abacus

Life Abacus


I grip my intention and squeeze the meaning out
Truth bleeds all over my tight bounded fists
There isn’t a chance in hell letting my grip slack
There's too much at stake, Too much that could be pissed away.

Don't tell me what I already know
Don't try and tell me what you think I need to know
My mind is a canvas and I'm the fucking tortured artist, not you
It's my blood that's spilled, my sweat that's worked, my tears that frustrate
I see the squares in a grid formation
In the air but not made of dust
My life is compartmentalised and that's how I can function
Going from block to block
If I let you tell me a story
Will I know the ending before your mouth has formed the words?
Will I guess the punchline or the moral?
Will I regret those past minutes in my life abacus?

Unpublished New Poem

World Of Villains Hive minded satellites, float above the seas of thought Impartial observers take bets on how long apathy can yawn In limbo as gigantic hands keep on spinning the globe Keep on confusing the sanity of certainty The soul of the nations is poisoned Some swear it came through the clouds Some claim it was dormant until hatched inside us We live in a world of villains It doesn’t make sense, because it isn’t meant too So we wait to be saved, it’s always been this way The merging of normality and super enhanced capability Because in a parallel world, a world where we are All Stan Lee’s creations V TOPP

Unpublished New Poem

Playing In The Mindfields There is a swirling rumour that is passed down Like a generational game of pass the parcel It’s about boys and girls who are seen playing in the mindfields Some people swear blind they have seen them Some people use them as an example warning As the bogie monster, the skeleton out of the closet You have been playing in the mindfields again, haven’t you? Under the stars of the sky black night One of the villagers walks in his sleep to the mindfields Walking barefoot across the pain pebbles Carrying only a dream and a bellyful of anxiety Unconscious prayers to the dream gods, to witness something She was standing in the centre Looking for someone to follow out of the fields But it was her would be rescuers who lead her here A trust betrayed, A trust unpaid Let the children run free Le their imaginations know no borders The adults who were young once Forgotten that they too had played in the mindfields V Topp ...

Unpublished New Poem

Snow Angels   Snow angels appear in the corner of our vision Blinking icy tears that scatter like silence Mourning for the glimpses of past innocences That with every footprint made become further away in the hearts and minds. Do you get frightened when on your own? Do you feel so quiet in this noisy world? The snow angels will melt And most will never know this V Topp
