Ghost Love

I sought to worship and love you the more Amidst the gloom never a dull moment I sacrificed my time, wealth, life, and my all Wholeheartedly to make our love decent You could just reflect back my love I wish Then it will have flesh enough to be seen You could dwell in the ocean like the fish And swim in my love as had always been But my yearn for a beloved other You have proven there was no true essence Now I conclude: Love should never matter For matter got no lasting existence Futile efforts raising love high above Just to realise it was a ghost love. 15th October, 2020
