The Past Is Legend Now

My love departed for the past
just 40 days ago.
She moves away from me as fast
as time is wont to flow.

A sailor in a convoy ship
sunk by a U-boat who
must watch it at a steady clip
slip slowly out of view.

Or maybe love's the mover and
I wave to it in vain
It is the now lost promised land
I won't again attain.

In any case, the water's cold
The fires now burn down.
I hope in some dream to behold
my queen in her green crown.

We both are stranded in a sea
which isn't real, somehow.
The present, surely, cannot be.
the past is legend, now.
