Starving Eyes
As I scream out your name I fall In darkness I have labored scantly clad in sack cloth and ashes Wait for me I won't be long My time is nearly up Crimson moons in rivers by the shore break my silence I scream out your name alone in empty rooms Hold me in my dreams Arenas of wild killers all fell...

I’m listening to a song, that’s captured my mood. What’s the singer saying? If it knew, I’d sing along. but the slurry words elude. It’s an artistic choice, I suppose, and I don’t require deeper meanings. A squirrel stands defiantly in the middle of the path, A tiny, furry-tailed, usurper - quite out of the routine. “Hello fluffy rodent,” I baby-sing, as it watches...

Worse than starving
Haven't it been enough when you asked even though I stepped aside? You can head your face towards me I don't care. My ears got blunt. My poor ears got ignorant. No, no I hear you but I can't listen. My eyes are the peak of my headaches. You still just stand there awating for something. When I don't you await someone...

Premium Member Starving Spines
Pages turn thin, thin as the plot thickens Thinning knowledge as ignorance quickens Spines crack from hunger, hunger for minds Cracking under pressure of different kinds Books starve for attention, attention spans wane Starving for readers in this digital rain Covers collect dust, the dust of neglect Collecting cobwebs, respect they collect Words go stale, stale on forgotten shelves Staling wisdom as society delves Into...

Starving Counting the beans in the garden that will feed us this winter in the cold. There are fewer than I remember from ever before now but somehow... God will make it enough. That is What "HE" does... He is a miracle maker and a mighty earth shaker. Yet none of his children need be worried or concerned. His great...

A Man Hunger Has Been Kicking
He is an occupant of a room damp And dependent on a rejected lamp: The worst so far in their camp … A room often not illuminated But in it plants still germinated, Selecting peeping spots in a cemented floor, Daringly doing so back to the room’s door. The room’s nearest neighbor a smelly dump, To many microbes their Releasing Pump And, sure, the...

Premium Member Starving the Monster
Starving the monster in the hole, anger is hot, spite is cold. The walls are bare and they're thin. They won't stop the outside coming in. Rabbits can speculate. Turtles must hedge. Move quick, never guess, trust no one. Cross the finish line alone. Straining to hear the world about, day by day to fill the hole. But across the pasture green, somewhere past...

Starving Stability
My feelings I store on empty shelves of shoulders that don't hold much but selfish needs. Preserved in salt to heal wounds and burn at once so to not forget the labels that have tested time, Patience and strength. Throughout time , I have tested waters flavored with agony's pungent seasoning knowing it's not...

Soul Starving In the Midst of Plenty
Soul Starving in the Midst of Plenty By Sy Roth Just a slit where air, Some air can find a way to creep in Replenish the foul exhalations of the horde Crammed to the rafters Airless beings Dazed by the machinations of others Deus ex machina To starve them of what is fresh to others. Clickety clack fly the miles Unasssuming chorus of the...

Starving Artist
Down on luck Or luck lost, You're stuck In the muck You've made. Starving artist Wearing twigs And berries, Your hair mussed Locks tangled up Like your life, In dark pieces, No chocolate shakes For your disgrace, A life sacrificed......

The Starving Child's Story
Don't pretend, I don't exist Look at my body Look into my face This is my story This is my life This is reality Don't run, don't hide Don't pass me by Look into my eyes Every tear has its story Wait don't close that gate I haven't ate, all I ask is that You stop and full my plate....
