Drinking From The Sane Water

Drinking From The Sane Water

Where has all my time gone?
It's like I blinked and lost ten years
I yawned and another five disappeared
I lie awake at night
Trying to reach the arms of sleep
But I can't
I'm thinking of time that's gone
Time I want back
Time I will never get back again
Does it exist at all?
Do we live in a time bubble that traps us inside?
I shouldn't have counted the time
Hoarded the time like it was loose change for a rainy day
I shouldn't have clock watched so much
Time is what owns us
Time isn't real
Time is control
Is it a fiction we make believe true?
Whose timeline is this we're on?
They say
There's no time like the present
I think they mean
There's no time in the present
I'm haunted by the clock on my wall
By the watch I wear on my wrist
Why do we need time to be our babysitter, our boss?
Why do we need time at all?
Time is what owns us
Time is our repression
I never saw the sun rise
Till I forgot how early it was
I never saw the sunset
Till I forgot how late it was
I've been drinking from the stale water
But now I'm drinking from the sane water.

Unpublished New Poem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Unpublished New Poem

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

Mental Wealth

Mental Wealth This is my place, This is yours You can come back to who you really are here The dreamer stays To taste the rain The nature's rust Tans the skin As the birds make music again With the only conductor being the new day Home is here. Here is always home Do you know where you belong? I do, I do Watching a grey squirrel pat down his buried treasure I saw him pretend five time before On his dummy runs, to confuse the competition This is where the real x marks the spot It's what i can see It's what i can hear It's what i can feel Flickering white glimpses of light The cracks of surprise Like timid ghosts Rain broke the silence of thinking The vibration is ringing like a bell Give me this beautiful vaccine For the sake of my mental wealth The only wealth I want V Topp
