ETHERIUM
©1995 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I wander on bemused withdrawn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
