Hungry Among People… Poetess - Blerina Pellumbi (Albania - France)

Hungry Among People…

Blerina Pellumbi

Embraced by light, dreams screamed at the stars, starving

seeking a little sparkle, trapped in false horizons.

Alone, words walked barefoot

in the deserts of a wounded soul;

thirst, an unquenched hunger for freedom among the maddened people.

Dreams stammered deadly truths, for a bit of hope,

feeding the insatiable with the light of the soul every morning.

Under the sounds of sirens, they called for peace, trapped among stars,

in a world hidden behind the sun, in a forgotten world…

Mute words stayed hung; at night they turned into neon lights,

awakening those, the dead of the day, who with dreams slept until late at night.

Who knows, why did they trade day for night?

Maybe there they quenched the hunger for an endless dream.
