Starved Souls, Silent Hearts
Introduction: Hunger is not always for food. Some souls wander, starving for love, for purpose, for something unseen. This poem speaks of those who live in silence, yearning for what the world refuses to give them.
She cradles grief that feels time‐spent.
Her tender heart—fragile and worn—
Releases muted sorrows, tattered and torn.
The silver moon bears witness to her cries,
Casting gentle beams where her anguish lies.
Each star inscribes memories in the sky,
Murmuring of lost love that has passed by.
Her eyes, once bright with promise and spring,
Now mirror the ache that sadness can bring.
A wistful breeze stirs her disheveled hair,
Recalling a passion dissolved into despair.
In a quiet garden where forgotten roses droop,
Their faded blooms echo a lamenting group.
Like abandoned hopes that slowly decay,
They vanish to dust as light fades away.
She wanders corridors of days long gone,
Tracing echoes of steps where love once shone.
His laughter—a melody now turned to mourn—
Haunts her silence from the cold, lonely dawn.
Raindrops fall softly, each a tiny lament,
Submerging her spirit in sorrow’s intent.
For he—the elusive ghost of her past—
Remains a mystery meant to forever last.
So she twirls with despair in a silent dance,
Her grief, a muted hymn without a chance.
Under the glow of night, she begs to be free:
“Unburden my soul; release this misery.”
Within the barren realm of her aching heart,
She roams alone, torn and set apart.
Her veins yearn for whispers of tender care,
But his icy silence leaves her spirit bare.
Tears of silver trace down her weary face,
As memories waltz in a somber embrace.
The past drifts by like specters in the night,
Haunting her soul with perpetual twilight.
Above, the stars murmur secrets soft and clear,
Yet her sky remains empty, void of cheer.
Her parched lips long for the solace of rain,
While he, the keeper of pain, conceals his disdain.
His presence is shrouded in mystery tight,
A riddle that bars her from reclaiming light.
Her spirit, like a caged bird yearning for flight,
Sings mournful ballads into the deep of night.
Thus she remains, her longing penned in verse,
A tender poet haunted by a solemn curse.
Her words, like faint lanterns in oppressive gloom,
Strive to break through the shadow of impending doom.
In quiet halls where ancient echoes chime,
Her laughter once rang in a golden time.
Now silence interlaces with fragments of old rhyme,
Weaving sorrow’s tapestry throughout the clime.
Every drop upon her skin tells a timeless tale,
Of love and loss that ceaselessly assail.
Yet deep inside, a fragile spark dares to glow,
Hinting that healing may soften the woe.
Unyielding time strides forward with relentless might,
Yet hope endures as a persistent, flickering light.
In dreams she reaches for long-forgotten delight,
Battling the shadows until dawn restores the night.
Perhaps beneath a compassionate, gentle moon,
Her famished soul will find solace soon.
Even in the depths of despair’s mournful tune,
Her quiet heart defies a foreboding ruin.
Until the break of a radiant, hopeful day,
She scripts her sorrows in verses that softly sway.
Each line, a beacon guiding her through dismay,
A lighthouse shining amidst the endless gray.
Her stanzas echo down corridors of pain,
Bearing fragments of love she yearns to regain.
Though scars remain, they slowly start to wane,
As her tender spirit learns to rise again.
In the dance of grief and art refined,
She gathers shards of a mending mind.
Each whispered word becomes a hopeful sign,
Transforming darkness into a luminous design.
Thus, her chronicle endures in lyrical art,
A testament to resilience from a shattered heart.
Her silent soul, once starved, now plays its part—
A beacon of hope, a masterpiece of restart.
💠Reflection: Not all hunger is physical—sometimes, it’s a longing for connection, for meaning, for love. This poem is a tribute to those who feel unseen.
