Silenced Sculptures

 SILENCED SCULPTURES

Inanimate structures of stone,

Forever stranded left alone.

Standing for centuries so long,

Everyone ignores and gets along.

Two sculptures stood together, 

Stayed united in severe weather.

A boy stood admiring the girl,

Her blush, Oh! so easy to be seen;

Even when her skin is coloured pearl.

Lifeless they were, they started speaking,

To live a life, they started believing.

Passionately in love they always stayed,

Only for each other they were made.

Becoming lively, their hearts beat,

Being so close, they never met.

Their hearts spoke words of love,

They felt high, so above.

A day of winter came, 

When her place didn't remain the same.

She was separated from her lovers' gaze,

He spent months in a daze. 

Thunder were his shouts,

Their love was true, no doubt.

Rain drenched him over,

He regretted not being with her closer.

Tears were easy to be seen despite the rain,

His heart was unable to be healed from the tormenting pain.

She was the one who made him feel alive,

No one resembled her, none alike. 

A weeping angel he became,

His love for her he couldn't acclaim.

Better are statues with a loving heart,

Than the humans with a heart so hard.

What a wonderful visual poem. The use of cold inanimate statues given warm blooded feelings what a great idea. Loved it.

[Najam Us Saher]

I had a dream in which I saw a statue shedding tears. So I got inspired from my dream and wrote this. Firstly, I thought that this idea would not be appreciated but when I read your review, I am extremely happy. Thank you so much.

Under the stormy nights
They stood together with all their might
But still they could never be together.
A question Najam .
Havent we humans made emotions too much of a problem.
We are young. We are still growing. Isnt it natural for us that we experiment. Breaking hearts, being broken isnt that what makes us what we are in the end.

[Najam Us Saher]

I wholeheartedly agree, I believe suffering ennobles us, it makes us better humans. Suffering a heartbreak simply makes us cautious not to hurt others because we know exactly how it feels. Thank you very much for reading my poems and sharing your views without hesitation, I appreciate it :)

[marilyn 1225]

very well stated the most careful kind people with others hearts are those who have suffered... sadly this is true

[SilverInk]

This poem is really inspiring. The irony of statues having literally stone hearts but being able to love better than humans was such a brilliant thought.

[Najam Us Saher]

You made my day, I am happy that you liked this thought, thank you so much for appreciating.
