Immortal Lover Poem by utkarsh gupta

IMMORTAL LOVER

How good it is, to touch you,
To kiss you, to caress you,
Without you knowing or frowning.
How good it is, to love you,
All the day, endlessly.
How good it feels, to be with you,
Wherever you are, and everywhere.
Do you know my sweetheart,
That to be a perfect lover,
You got to be like me,
Like me, a ghost.

A ghost you can never see,
A ghost you can never feel or touch,
A ghost, you can never shoo away,
‘Coz a ghost is beyond you, above you, always.
You don't know my sweety, how happy I am,
To be in this new world, a ghost's life;
For all my live days, I loved you,
Only to be hated, rejected and to be refused.
And whenever I expressed my love to you, my love,
I always received indifference and hate.
Being alive, as a lost lover, it was so pain,
But now a ghost I am, and all seems a gain.
I know I can be with you always, never to be separated,
‘Coz now I don't have any needs, but to be with you,
No hunger, no thirst no need for a lust, to keep me away. 
To keep me away, you tried your best,
But God was with me to keep me blessed.
He gave me, a martyr's death,
He gave me life, by taking my breath.
Told me God, "O great lover,
Love you spread, for your life ever,
For you I leave the doors of heaven ajar.
Choose your heaven, or your love which was always so far.
But remember, my child, whatever you choose,
Will be the choice forever".

I thanked God and kissed his hand,
"O father, thank you for everything you said,
For me without her, even heaven seems hell,
Without my love, my Lord,
In heaven too, I can't dwell".

God smiled n went when I thus said,
And here I am, with you, kissing your forehead.
How much I love you, you never did n will know,
My love is immortal, which I was not,
And even you tried, to make it rot,
But there is a way, where there's a will,
And see now I can love you, forever, and I will.
Love you and keep all ills away from you,
You can't fight spirits but a ghost can do.
 


Again I asked God, "Till when a ghost I'll be".
Told me God, "Till your love visits you, visits your grave ".
So my love, I‘ll always from it keep you away,
For if you visit, I‘ll reborn,
I don't know where will I go, then,
Maybe I'll forget you as a newborn.
So my love never will I allow you to go there,
For I want to be with you forever,
Like fragrance is with a flower.
Be a ghost, so that I can love you,
Love you always and forever, I want to,
Being a ghost is such a bliss,
You may hear it like a shock,
O lady with a heart of rock,
But I know it now, actually,
To love you without fear of hate,
I ought to be one,
Be a ghost, to love you, immortally.
