In the echoes of desire, I crave for more,

Yearning whispers call encore

.

Within this chest, where a heart should beat,

Love eludes me, a melody incomplete.

.

A voiceless soul, silent in the night,

Dreams suspended, waiting for the light.

.

As dawn unfolds, the future yet unknown,

Dangling hopes, like petals, in winds are strown.

.

Cloaked in shadows, teeming with renown,

Roaming within, chasing the profound.

.

Tomorrow beckons, a canvas unexplored,

Yet, will my journey find paths untoured?

.

In the tapestry of time, I weave and twine,

The echoes of my heart, a silent rhyme.

.

A voice denied, muffled melody within,

Through echoes of silence, emotions sing.

.

In the dance of life, a relentless quest,

For more, for meaning, I never rest.
