Hunger Poem by Sandhya S.N

Hunger

Rating: 5.0


Look, my child is crying
Her soft paws, her dazzling eyes
Her toothless jaws, wander something
I doubt, may be she is hungry

Yes! She is madly hungry
Am I too!
Both my breast and breath
Starve to feed my child

Ha! Sweet starve of a mom
Divine hunger in the world
Procured as a special right
Right from the holy mom

Look, he too is sensitive
His piercing eyes, warming mind
And killing smile, wander something
I doubt, may be he is hungry

Yes! He is madly hungry!
Am I too!
Both my body and mind
Starve hard to feed my dear

Ha! Sweet starve of a buddy
Heavenly hunger in the world
Only I could feed him
What he desire and deserve

Hunger! Wild and wonderful
For me at both times
My role is to feed at times
With me till my death

deprivation of love...as implied maybe with this verses......a monologue presented stanzas in poetic craftmanship......
