POEM: Vivid Visions


I see vivid visions
that are often far
from any version of reality
these sights don't 
match my vigilance
but insight vengeance 
and vain thoughts
but I do not support
irreverence
because these experiences
let me venture
from places unknown
to worlds untold
I am invigorated 
by the possibilities
and intoxicated with these synergies
that connect me to an alternative life
so as my vices and the shrill voices
sometimes offset my vibes
making it so intense
that I become valiant
and versatile
I cherish these sights
and though vague and repetitive
they make me want to visit
some new place 
where the vultures
feed on nightmares
and the velocity of nature
is variegated by the vernacular
valued by the villagers 
and vaulted from virtuality
into reality
