Effusion to Elvani
Time and tide flit so fast,
Forgetting how mellow memo faded.
So long pain and pining last,
Getting missing mood brocaded.
Strings in both hearts, rent by retrospective rift,
Amid murky mopes, melody of yore adrift.
Ring on single finger, fretted by foreshadowing frost,
Unto wild wind, faith for future tossed.
Elvani, if your charm did forsake my flattened rhyme,
Let my word salad flounder to fetch the past of your prime.
Elvani, if my flavor did flee your muffled fife,
Let your unvented sighs fill and figure the rest of my life.
