I was inspired to write this after reading "A Phantom's Love" By Stardust, which I enjoyed very much!!

A Phantom's love I'll have for you...
always with discretion...
Unseen, untouched, unwanted too,
but thriving in perfection.

A phantom's love can survive,
because it won't be shown.
No mortal hand can destroy,
what is never known.

As a phantom I will prepare,
to face a brand new day.
Nothing to prove, nothing to gain,
as is the phantom's way.

So rest your mind, close your heart.
Your phantom seeks no more,
to partake of the mortal man.
or a love that's not in store.

As a phantom I will live,
to my own life's content.
Untouched, unseen, unwanted,
as it was always meant!

If you can't make it so,
you need to let it go!

Ghostly and romantic....I can just see the tall candlesticks burning and feel the otherworldly aura in this one.
This sounds like one really cool ghost.
Great poem!

Anyway I really liked the idea behind your poem, and the line "no mortal hand can destroy what is never known" absolutely incredible.
