#lostandfound
Trapped in the same cycle,
aching to be free.
Anger, grief, and fear
keep pulling back at me.
Seasons fall like leaves
from every broken tree.
Childhood snow has melted,
lost its purity.
Still I search for something,
someone I can be.
Echoes of a past
that never grants release.
Time coils and bends around me,
endlessly.
Shadows whisper softly,
shaping what I see.
In dreams my soul wanders
through a forgotten sea.
Light dissolves to mist,
and I drift silently.
Every silent battle
hides a deeper plea.
Wandering through the night,
seeking a place
beyond eternity.

Black sleep can’t be seen
when they are kept in the dark.
How can I leave my mark?
I want to be seen—
a silhouette drowning in a dream,
the puddle ripples with hues of green,
shimmering lies where truth had been.
I search for signs, for steady ground,
but confusion swells where there are no landmarks found.
My compass spins in this shadowed land,
I reach for light, but touch only sand.
I feel lost, no map to tear,
no path, no flame, just stale, cold air.
I am tired of the fight,
of stitching wounds in endless night.
Sadly, I have lost the sight—
not just of stars, but of my own spark,
dimmed to a whisper,
curled in the dark.
Still, something in me waits.
Not hope… but hunger.
A quiet throb beneath the ache—
the need to wake,
to surface,
to break.

Lost and found in galactic sea
Full of trinkets, socks and desires
Tossed together, lost and free
Cosmic quiet of human fires
Scouring through things of others and myself
Silly ornaments that burned once are now embers
when space placed trinket on a shelf
Even stars forget what the glow remembers
I see one’s courage and another's doubt
A scarf stitched with malignant fury
Deep it goes as so the doubt
And smells of old love lost in a hurry
Many curse for missing what sky kept
Not mirrors for why they were left behind
Spurts of bliss of moments wept
And gather dust in recesses of the mind
In melancholy I shut the box
And a cosmic indifference sighs
Things gone are never lost
Simply waiting to hear the rhymes
And for this once I will only say
The chasm is ghastly in its way
And all the bunch has found a home
Washing away in cosmic seafoam

"We go through life without knowing where we’re headed… We run from things without understanding why they chase us. We do everything expected of us—except what we truly desire. We speak endlessly, yet imprison the words we long to say. Lost in tales of the past and those we’re living, torn between dreams we cling to and those that slipped away unnoticed. We grow accustomed to all that happens and has happened to us, facing life while neglecting ourselves. Our hearts are wearied by fate’s whims and exhausted by the weight of passing days."

Romance it was,
when I thought
that in this country
I would feel at home.
When I boarded that plane,
headed for the future.
A promising future,
full of trials
and many successes.
I crossed borders,
both physical and emotional.
I never thought my life
would fit into a suitcase.
In my suitcase,
only a few clothes,
but filled with everything
that pushed me forward.
The rest was in my mind:
the embrace of my mother and father.
Will this be the last time I see them?
Longing and nostalgia,
a feeling in my chest.
I don’t know if it’s sadness or love,
pride for doing
what many cannot,
and yet, I dare.
Now I find myself here,
I am the different one,
the one who speaks with an accent.
Strong in life,
wondering what I’m doing here,
searching for my path.
Not for an earthly purpose,
but because the universe
needs me here.
It seems like a terrestrial journey,
but it is an astral journey
to another reality.
Many times I cry,
other times I comfort myself.
I am no longer from here,
but neither from there.
When I say,
"I am from the world,"
I find myself.

Beneath the velvet sky, the boy floats alone,
A silent canoe sways, no sound, just the tone
Of waves that whisper secrets in the night,
As the moon casts shadows, soft and bright.
The sea beneath him teems with life unknown,
A dance of creatures in the depths they've grown—
A whale’s tail flits like a shadowed dream,
A jellyfish glows in a ghostly gleam.
Lost in the vastness, the boy seeks his way,
A soul adrift, a heart led astray.
He gazes up at the heavens’ endless sea,
Each star a whisper, each flicker a plea.
"Where am I going? What is this plight?"
His voice swallowed by the endless night.
But the stars speak softly, a guide from afar,
The light of a distant, unreachable star.
In the silence, he calls out to the divine,
"Are you there, God? Can your light be mine?"
The universe, vast, yet so close to his soul,
A light in the dark, a beacon, a goal.
The stars flicker brighter, the sea a calm sheet,
He feels a stillness, where heartbeats meet.
The creatures around him, the stars up above,
A reminder that guidance comes wrapped in love.
And though the night feels endless and wide,
He knows he’s not lost—he’s just on a ride.
For even in darkness, even adrift,
There’s a quiet voice giving him a lift.
The boy on the canoe, with stars for his guide,
Learns that sometimes, it’s okay to just ride.
For in the silence, the night, and the waves,
There’s a truth that guides him, that he’ll always crave.

he lost his way, he knows not when.
chasing false idols he mistook for men.
he'd lose the child, if he only knew then -
he'd find a way to be a man again.

With a boat made of hope
I'll go sailing
In the search of love
If my heart gets wrecked and crushed
From the storm of empty promises
I'll bury it in the depth of my chest
like treasures from a shipwreck
For you to find it and peace it back together

I've been dragged away
from the edge of the water,
even though I wanted to jump right in
I'd been only swimming
in the shallow corners,
almost learned to let go
and give in
Give in to the waves
let them pull me further from the shore
Give in to the tide,
hear the ocean roar
But something happened then
and I lost my sight of how and when
For a minute I closed my eyes,
thought I was lost at sea,
but when I looked around
there was no water to be seen
Just like someone
came and took my hand
and pulled me far away
off to dry lands
Felt like memory loss,
tried but couldn't remember
why my feet were still so wet
when I was in the centre
of the forest splendour
And sometimes I recall
the memories of the time
when I almost had it all
I was getting so close,
could barely believe
that I had found the purpose of my reality
But not everything works out
Lost sight of my true silhouette
My head has been dry for so long,
but my feet are still wet
Out of place
Out of my mind
Lost in the woods
Lost track of time
Take me back
Now I recall
why my feet are still wet
I can still have it all
I'll drag myself back
to the edge of the water
and jump right in like I was meant to
I'll be swimming away
into the deep end
Giving in to the waves
Giving in to the tide
Giving in to the voices that I've kept inside
My feet are still wet
and now I know why

it's scary being lost.
Feeling lost. Alone.
So cold, you can feel it in your bones.
But the thing about being lost,
You can always be found.
Found by a person. By faith.
You can even find yourself.
If you're out there,
And you want to be found,
If you're READY to be found,
Call out your name.
Someone who can help
Will listen for the sound

I could devour your heart
But I chose to hold it with care
Like soft petals, velveteen in my mind
I could scare you to death
But I chose to hide all that I'm made of
Like sharp daggers, wrapped in silken scarves
I could shatter your grip on reality
But I chose to respect your sanity
Like silent truths, hidden in stories untold
See my gritted teeth of sincere control
Notice my disquiet eyes aflame with agony
And don't ignore my scars from wearing another skin
It's been too long, way too long
I close my eyes and breathe in slowly,
It feels alien, other-ly--
A warmth washes over me...
'I made it this far...'

How i walked on a paved road so long,
I watched myself fall and stand.
I lost my mind, my focus.
Just to find it once more,
Find hope,
Find myself..
Just to display,
A happier ending,
A reason..
To keep trying, to never give up...
It was the best.
It was the greatest.
Find something to keep you up.
To keep you going.
To just find a note in your heart,
Keep going....

I knew what you
were from
the very beginning.
I saw you from a
different angle.
All the others saw a sleek and slender form.
Thin bones that were jam-packed with dreams.
When I looked your way,
I saw
myself,
misunderstood, and
wandering. Lost.
But the way your eyes lit up when you saw me-it
was enough to let me know that
I had
been
found.

Lost and found
An empty body
A foreign box
Three Items
Smiles and laughter in a jar
“You need to please them”
Without smiles
They don’t waver
Without laughter
They don’t fall
I can’t make a sound
A gold heart wrapped in bubble wrap
“You need to show them”
Sincere kindness
So hard to find
“Are you okay”
I’m sick of it
A pool of tears on loose
“Those are happy tears”
The sky has the freedom
To let it all out
But why can’t I
The empty body
“Change it”

there are thousands of things
i want to say and i can't
find even one way
to say one thing
so sometimes i tamp
them down and mix
them with syrupy sweet
sludge in my mug
and other times i remember
bits and pieces of them and
write them on scraps of paper
and abandon them
lost and found
whatever is shoved
into the bottom of that
cardboard box
was only lost
never found
nobody knows where
they come from or
where they will go
after the lost and found
lost and found
waiting
the miscellaneous
and i

Lost
I feel lost at every trickle
The water is cold tonight
The moment I went backwards
I realized once again my plans have been ruined
In the ruin I seek pity
Not because of the bright glare
Because of the glamour
Nothing else could feel this wrong
As my mind is wrapped in torment
I still think about my loss
How can I regain that trust back
How can I turn it back into a tune
Darkness in my thoughts
I go on with my day

I want to get over you
And let you go. But it's funny
Even though you are already gone
I am still holding onto
Every tiny fibers of your being and threads
Of your lost and none existent love.
I know for a fact that
You have gone long ago like
During my youth years
Yet I am still here in the dreamlands
Somehow by any design, hoping the impossible
One day we can find each other again.
This is really annoying and agonizing, I mean
Being delusional and arguing with reality.
My mind is playing games with my heart.
At this point, I just don't know
What to do anymore.
Please help!

Within the fog, a light flickering
And when it caught his eyes
The voices in his head ceased the bickering
Silence filled the scene
Reality stopped being obscene
He ran towards it, blind as a bat
No longer did he wallow where he sat
A light, the thrill, so bright, a chill
Brighter and brighter it got
What a beautiful shot ...
Mesmerizing and terryfing as looking down the edge of a big hill
He was helped by a long gone friend ... Will
Will to run, will to go into the unknown, will to go to the shimmer
With fantasies it would make life have no dimmer
Always bright, forever full ... Oh, how beautiful
He ran and ran and ran
And finally arrived at the lights source
That would forever change his life's course
It was a shinning nymph of the name of Passion
She greeted him in such a caring fashion
She was something so new, but already he knew
Home had been found, they'd forever be bound
Numbness was no longer his concubine
Passion will now his soul define

~ The Letter Writer
The following is a series of letters written for complete strangers. These letters were written, put in envelopes, and then sent off for people to find. I’m not trying to change lives, but I thought it could at least help out the people who need it most. And who am I to stop people from remembering what’s important? Whether or not they find out who I am, that’s another story...

How does one find
what is lost....
Without losing
What one has found...
I live so loud
That I don't speak
I can feel the words
The future seems bleak

I often wonder if I would ever run into you.
If I do, how would it play out?
So, I imagine a scenario where Iam shopping at a supermarket, walking down the aisle, pushing my cart,
looking for some mundane little thing and there you will be,
next to the cereal aisle, holding your favorite brand of cereal.
What would we do?
Will one of us lean in for a hug,
smile awkwardly at each other or
behave like strangers?
Would we exchange numbers,
With a promise to catch up soon or do
the most natural thing in the world-
go to the nearest cafe or pub and
have coffee or a drink or two together.
Share our stories, wish each other well and part as friends.
I hope that's what we'd do.
I would love to walk down that aisle with you.
I look for you in every supermarket in the world, I step into.
