I am a Lover without a Love

Folder:

Bye: Twenty-line-poems

Love in the shape of a great spirit,

Used to visit,

The empire of my heart,

Just earlier than we had to part.

Alas! I am a lover without a love,

Moving aimlessly like a divorced dove,

True love is the nectar,

I have been searching so far.

The agonising irony is this,

Love like flowers’ perfume is,

Free of cost yet it behaves as a mirage,

Locking my heart in a hellish barrage.

I shall love that YOU,

Who is yet to tread anew,

An earthly angel with celestial self-possession,

I want no kingdom from Him, only this little selection.

Wherever you are,

Like a shrouded star,

Come and be my love since you must know,

I shall love you as the rain loves the rainbow.

Author's Notes/Comments:

This poem is inspired by the poem of the esteemed poetess, Melissa Lundeen (i.e. palewingedpoetess) entitled, "UNARGUABLY ALONE". Notably, I borrowed the title from that very poem. Melissa Lundeen's profile: http://www.postpoems.org/authors/palewingedpoetess
