Prompt: What do you want? (Form: A chant)
I know you want to say a lot more
And still, you don't say a word.
Your silence speaks louder than words
And still, you don't say a word.
There is a roaring rhapsody, beating in your heart
And still, you don't say a word.
I can feel the distant dreams of desire
And, still, you don't say a word.
There is a wall in between, which binds and separates
And, still, you don't say a word.
You want to enjoy the short and sweet moments
And, still, you don't say a word.
So many desires erupt in the honeyed nights
And, still, you don't say a word.
Time is short and the heart wants to surrender
And, still, you don't say a word.
Listen! Love cannot bloom in silence
And, still, you don't say a word.
