Where Lost Souls Meet

Where Lost Souls Meet

Pose for the scene,
A star shines bright,
Living the dream.
Glistening skin,
Heart full of fire,
Chasing the spotlight,
Rising higher and higher
Stiletto heels on a Friday night,
Prowling the city, bathed in bright light.
The world at her feet,
The LA streets
Where lost souls meet,
Filtered skies frame her glamorous life,
But down on the streets, there’s a different strife.
Chasing dragons 
Flying higher and higher
Hope escapes with each fading sun,
A homeless heart, no place to run.
Reluctant dreams in oversized clothes,
A weary soul where no warmth ever flows.
Stars rising high, yet some never soar,
Falling apart, feeling less than before.

Ahhh I see this is on your mind of late since both poems feature the contrast between hope and despair. Reminds me a bit of the song, Don't Stop Believing by Journey

You made me look up the lyrics! The new front man of Journey is Filipino and he was very poor but held on to his dreams. He was discovered through a youtube video of him singing. I thought that song was about dreaming big. The lyrics actually have the same theme, dichotomy. Only it was sang in such an epic way! I always like the contrast of things, the irony, juxtaposition and such. I think I am diabolical as well.
