Empty Seats

Empty seats create a thousand dreams

Dreams of hope and many themes;

Waiting to sing for king and queen

Yet echoed voices go unseen.

One seat waiting to be filled

A strong ship only labor can build;

Time awaits for the most skilled

A friend awaits to be thrilled.

Thousand masks cannot occupy space

Ain’t no competition or a race;

Worthy and respect shall ace

Then learn wounds to erase.

A void not shown on the face

Guilt of loss hidden in the base;

Mind moved ahead with grace

But heart cannot be displace.

Said too much, committed mistakes

Shattered memory, head just aches;

Closed one can gain some stakes

But one is enough for keep sake.

Another seat longing for warmth

Need gentle heart and sweet form;

Patiently planning to transform

Guess love’s strength can hit any storm.

Have been told there is some place

Arms ready to just embrace;

Experienced every case by case

Only disappointment left its trace.

Loyalty is considered high

But fruits exist beyond the eye;

One should not fall to cry

But eyes are left low and dry.

Yet await for the smile

Looking out for that erstwhile;

Will go the distance and mile

Know it will be worthwhile.

Some come close, others disguise

Hypocrites known for deeper lies;

Still won’t stop to rise

Empty seats has its price.
