Toward An Unrequited Love

I love you - was, your confession;
Did you love me - is my question.
You came in my life like a guest;
Being with me was real test.

You had pulled each of my foot-stride;
I shaped your fumbling steps with pride.
You forsook me in times of pain;
Waning your pains had been my gain.

Your vices fail your grand values;
For you, all these, I revalue.
Did I seek anything from you?
Why my wishes for you seem new...?

I don't complain, about you, yet; 
Thank you for, all I from you, get.
Am I seized by you, I don't know;
You are a shadow that does grow. 

We give vent to our feelings;
They're, yet, like seeping on ceilings.
Do my feelings visit you night?
Consider them nightmares; sleep... tight!

I love my self; you to do yours;
Let there be, at least, no borders.
Come and go whenever you want.
Like a ghost, you can, my life haunt...!

Your poetic words on Love which your soul tasted and lived are so beautifully rendered and wonderfully echoed into my heart.. The magic wand of LOVE would never cease to touch and colour our souls and poetry! An immense pleasure to read you, Christuraj! My deepest regards and blessings.
