"Never Lost"


The souls that wander
They are never truly lost.
Those that are unfocused
Are always full of thought.
What seems calm on surface
Hides the chaos deep within.
We keep shooting for stars
Despite being called has-beens.
We entwine our own demons
As we battle their hellish fire.
Angels watch us from afar
Reaching for our heart's desire.
Tears of anger trickle down
Bleeding, forging their craft
Waves of negativity crashing
As imagination fights back.
The souls that wander
They are never astray
Inventing and shaping.
Their opus every day.

"The Limit"


A rebel without a cause.
A poet that lost all rhymes.
The sky was once the limit;
Creativity is firmly grounded.
A painter that only uses black.
A writer without a single plot.
Imagination is dwindling away
As screens have taking over.
Thoughts are being constrained
By character lengths and tags.
New ideas forever lost in chaos
Of censorship and new guidelines
A simple photo filtered to death.
True beauty is no longer analog.
Even gazing upwards at the moon
Means a thousand shots for a post.
The sky was the limit at one time.
It is all about online validation.
Disconnect and ignite your soul;
 Reach for the stars once more
