The Unspoken Longing Poem by Arti Chopra

The green grass is carpeted
with flowers of white
The garden is lit up with
a softly fading light
The leaves rustle softly
Singing a song divine
My heart is filled with
longing
For a soulmate who is mine

Someone who understands
Someone who hums my song,
Someone who holds my hand
Someone who walks along,
Someone who's there for me
Every minute of the day,
Who will read my every look
Without me having to say

The flowers are now withered
Drenched and wilted in the rain
Their perfume has faded
Their white beauty now will wane
They lie on the green grass
Waiting to be swept away
But there was a moment
When their beauty held sway

I shall wait for my soulmate
I know he is somewhere out there
He will hear my silent calls
Sense my longing laid bare
And the white flowers shall revive
On the green grass once again
Their perfume will permeate
The gently falling rain
