Love Auctioned For Gold

By Imran Ahmed Two Men Stood At Fate’s Gate One Loved Her More Than Stars One Loved Her More Than Light Both Were Ironclad In Devotion, She Loved Neither Only Her Reflection Her Scent A Spellbinding Elixir Her Voice Honey Laced With Fire Her Presence A Throne She Refused To Share, One Was A Ghost In Daylight His Love Deeper Than Oceans His Heart A Candle In The Storm Burning Waiting Never Fading, The Other Was A Master Of The Game Tearing Veils Like Old Paper Turning Love Into A Contract Offering Wings But Holding The Leash, She Chose The Gilded Road Not Knowing The Thorns Beneath, One Man Became A Forgotten Verse The Other A Victor Without A Prize, Who Won A Question Lost In Smoke Love Was The Currency But In The End No One Cashed In.
