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
