Unspoken

Time and Distance

The passion for her has thrived as the ageless mountains stand. She is the radiant dawn that ushers in the day, the ethereal moon that guides the night, the twinkling star that adorns the celestial sphere. She is the flourishing rose of the meadow, the melodious lark in the sylvan symphony, the gentle zephyr that caresses the face of the earth. She embodies the universe, yet to her, this heart is an unseen void.

Her senses remain blind to the existence of this devotion. Her gaze overlooks the flicker when crossing paths in the corridor, her ears miss the echo of her name whispered in the silence of the night, her touch is unfamiliar with the yearning that lingers in the air. Oblivious she remains, to the silent overture, to the relentless devotion, to the unseen heartache. She cradles the heart within her grasp, yet it is the silent bearer that endures the anguish.

The language of this love remains unspoken. The risk of losing the shared laughter, the mutual respect, the cherished smiles is too grave. The fear of rejection, of ridicule, of regret creates an insurmountable wall. The exposure of vulnerability, the confession of weakness, the plea of desperation remain veiled. This love rests concealed, entombed deep within the chest, where it smolders like an eternal flame.

This love can only bask in her warmth from a distance. Observing her share laughter with friends, engage in learned discourse with mentors, stride alongside her beloved. It admires her beauty, her grace, her charm from the sidelines. It can only weave images of holding her hand, of sealing a kiss, of whispering sweet nothings. It can only dream of a day that remains forever on the horizon.

Thus, she remains the silent song of this heart, and it endures as her unseen devotee.


The Silent Melody

Underneath the veiled blanket of a rainy eve, a solitary silhouette moved with an elegance that whispered tales of unsung strength. She was an unwritten sonnet, her life a symphony composed in the language of unvoiced affection. Each raindrop falling from the charcoal sky echoed the muted heartbeats of her silent love, a love that dared not speak its name.

Her heart, an unseen garden, nurtured an enchantment blooming in silence, watered by the moonlight of her concealed emotions. This quiet, yet profound sentiment, was a silent river flowing as persistently and subtly as the rain that enveloped her. The river of her emotions was a palpable presence, an unvoiced testament to her love, which she held close, like a poet cradling an unsaid verse.

In the distance, under the umbrella of shadows, a silent spectator watched, a bystander swept up in the dance of the woman and the rain. Each footfall she took on the rain-drenched pavement resonated with his unspoken yearnings, leaving him both mesmerized and bewildered. 

With each raindrop that kissed the earth, her unvoiced emotions danced a delicate ballet. His laughter echoed in her mind - a comforting flame in the winter of her solitude - and his gaze, a reflection of a soul as vast as the cosmos. 

The woman, wrapped in the embrace of the rain, was aware of another heart echoing her own silent symphony. This awareness was another silent wave in her ocean of unvoiced emotions, another verse in her unspoken poem.

How long could she walk this path? How long could she cradle her silence. The answer whispered in the rhythm of the rain - as long as the stars dared to twinkle in the night, as long as the rivers dared to meet the sea.

As the rain continued its symphony, the woman pressed on, her resolve echoing in each step. She carried her confused feeling a burden, but as a beacon, illuminating her world with a glow only she could feel. The unheard serenade watched her, his heart resonating with her rain-soaked ballet, a dance of love veiled in silence and longing.

For the flame's in their hearts, even in silence, was a dance they were both a part of. Even if their affection remained a silent melody, their hearts danced to it, each in their rhythm, beneath the symphony of the rain.


Echoes of the Unseen

In solitude I query, does anyone perceive my plight?

No tap upon my threshold, no visitor in sight.

My dwelling feels an isle, where comers are but rare,

I'm shackled in yesteryear's deluge, in the quiet of despair.


Your gaze, I've met in longing, your name I've called aloud,

Yet your gaze skirts past me, a specter in the crowd.

To you, I seem a Romeo, obscured behind walls, cold and hard,

Lost and unlocated, my existence is discard.


A Paramour in the shadows, unseen, unheard, unwed,

A number, unlisted, in a terrain, barren and dread.

Am I presumed perished? Do you know of my yearning fire?

My words to you are muted, on this wire of dire.


In the abyss, I echo, pleading to the phantom's frost,

With an outstretched arm, I reach, akin to the mariner lost.

Just a Romeo unnoticed, barricaded by the stoic stone,

Vanished and anonymous, in this unknown, I moan.


Living like a soul's mate lost, does any soul comprehend?

Untraceable and absent, in this barren land, I wend.

In solitude I query, does anyone perceive my plight?

Is there a soul who hears me? Is anyone in sight?

 Love's Labors Obscured: The Soliloquy of an Unheard Heart

In the tranquil town of Buxton, North Carolina, lived a humble boat builder named Jake. He was known for his expert craftsmanship and charming persona. He was especially close to Madeline, a florist whose spirit was as vibrant as the flowers she sold.

Their friendship was the talk of the town, with shared laughter and long conversations as they navigated their lives together. Jake admired Madeline's grace, her dedication towards her flower shop, and her zeal for life. And Madeline cherished Jake's resilience, his passion for his craft, and his kind-heartedness. There was an unspoken bond between them, a quiet understanding that neither acknowledged.

One day, Jake saw a scene that he never expected. He observed Madeline in the arms of another man, his heart sinking as he watched them embrace. The world seemed to move in slow motion, each passing second twisting the knife of betrayal deeper. His heart felt as if it were made of ice, slowly melting under the hot sun of heartache.

Jake, in his agony, began to withdraw from Madeline. The days passed with a heavy silence between them, filled with words unsaid, emotions unexpressed. Jake busied himself with his work, using the hum of his tools to drown out the constant replay of the hurtful scene. 

However, the pain couldn't deter his longing for Madeline. He would often watch her from a distance, his heart yearning for the comfort of their shared laughter and easy banter. He wanted to approach her, confront her about what he had seen, but the sight of her embrace with another man kept replaying in his mind, binding him in a state of helplessness and sorrow.

One evening, he noticed Madeline searching for him, her eyes filled with a mix of worry and confusion. He hid, trying to mask his presence as he silently observed her. It broke him to see her troubled, but his pain was too raw, the wound too fresh to confront her. 

So, he chose the solitude of his boat shed, immersing himself in his work, using every splinter and callus as a reminder of the love he once held close but now loved from afar. Even now, with the ocean winds carrying whispers of their past, Jake bears the pain of his unrequited love, quietly cherishing the echo of Madeline's laughter and the ghost of her touch. Each day, he loves her from a distance, an unspoken promise lingering in his heart that maybe one day, he might find the courage to overcome the haunting memory and find his way back to her.
