Etherium

ETHERIUM
©David Arthur

I ponder long, pained eyes upon
 Ice silent yesterdays
Mere memories beloved Louise
 Cannot my loss allay

An ocean is my love, but not enough for you
 Whose grace precedes lithe mystic steeds
The winged gods of lore

I wander on, bemused, withdrawn
 In weary, wayward ways
In dreary, dotard ways
A pious mermidon

Forever is my love not long enough for you
 My eternal spirit draws its neverending breath for you

All earthly will, dead quiet, still
 A shade bemoans by day
And dark of night yields not respite
 For grief that has no stay

A poem is my love yet not enough for you
 Whose soul sublime
Stirs nobler rhyme
 From bard's supernal shore
