Nearly 100 Years Old


Nearly 100 Years Old
 
Nearly one hundred years old
One hundred years of a life spent well
The days stretch further now
The diamonds of life's DNA still dazzle
Friends are still here with him, just not in flesh and blood
Their words still echo, their faces like the moon or the sun
In a world still where dreams are not grown, they're sold now
But still he lives, with both feet touching the ground
A real vision he possess
Aged eyes, yet still with the curiosity of a child
Wearing a smile like a comfy robe
With the knowledge that when you are in doubt
You are the most alone, alone he is not
An audience of curiosity watch the old man
As he stretches out his body and balances his mind
Life expectancy is to be cherished not expected.

Unpublished New Poem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Unpublished New Poem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
