My Love For Thee.....

My love for thee is ephemeral,

My love for thee will end one day,

Because my life is ephemeral,

I am mortal, I won't stay!

In this world of egotism,

A single second more than you,

Which tree covets for autumn,

By repudiating its spring that is you!

But these flimsy lines the elegy,

That I am writing in your memory,

Will carry you on causing no hypocrisy,

To my next next and next progeny!

Nothing less than death has might to eradicate,

My love for thee which I can't find in my fate.
