Maybe

Maybe

From my own mouth
The words fall out
But no clank clunk sigh this time
In order, magnetised to sense and reason
This is unusual for me
But an imposter I will welcome to stay indefinitely.

There is no overlapping dialogue
No 'how are you doing, what are you up to?'
It's a natural spontaneous Q and A
One that takes me beyond previously explored territories.

Normally my journey involves catching my train...
Then realising I should be still waiting at the platform
Waiting for my train of thought, my ghost train of thought.

Through all the sciences and realities
This is not 'Did you watch the match last night? 'Isn't it cold for this time of the year?'
The lights are on and there is somebody home.

Have I swallowed a fly with thesaurus DNA?
Have I joined the dots for my drawing of clarity?
The past, the present and the future
Discussed in all of twenty minutes
Maybe it's the yoga that has turned me into Yoda.

Unpublished New Poem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Unpublished New Poem

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

Thirst

Thirst My sleeping partner cruelly nudges me out of calm Eyes open the hunger and thirst rises like a roar Going through the motions like a lobotimised lab rat Waiting for the cheese to drop Chasing the clock, chasing the clock, tick tick tock I need to quench this thirst I know what I need My circulation is poor, poor from the dead veins of tedium I’ve lost the thrill to live The surprise just doesn't anymore On the bus the tree branches like crooked withered old fingers Point the way, tormenting me, I work to live not the other way around Tormented by all the exit signs I see On my way to boredville again The thirst is drying me out, drop by drop, minute by minute, second by second  V Topp https://www.amazon.co.uk/Drinking-Sane-Water-Vincent-Topp-ebook/dp/B01NBX7TS9/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid
