Tempus Fugit, E.T.

     There was a time not long ago,
     Elizabeth, your am'thyst eyes
     Made wint'ry hearts light up and glow,
     Provoking sonnets, songs, and sighs,
     Upending stalwarts to the ground;
     So,too, I gazed and almost drowned...

     Few can forget you did a lot
     Untying -- ( with your beauty spot?)--
     Gordian knots to release a trove
     In aid - 'gainst AIDS - and all for love...
     Twinkle on, Bright Star,  up above;

     Ethereal Muse, tho' Time may fly,
     The torch you lit will never die!
