Title: Whispers of Green

In shadows deep where whispers grow, 

A seed takes root, begins to sow. 

A heart once pure, now tainted green, 

With silent wish, it weaves unseen.

Eyes that wander, glances steal, 

Covetous thoughts they can't conceal. 

Dreams of more, of what they're not, 

A fire burns with every thought.

The gentle touch of what could be, 

Transforms the soul, distorts the sea. 

A yearning gaze, a silent cry, 

For something more than meets the eye.

In daylight's warmth, a chill remains, 

As discontentment courses veins. 

The world, a mirror, reflects in part, 

The endless hunger in the heart.

For every joy another's seen, 

It stirs a shadow, cold and keen. 

A longing for what others claim, 

A silent curse without a name.

So heed the tale, this woven art, 

Of restless mind and aching heart. 

For in the quest for what's not ours, 

We lose the peace of tranquil hours.
