Analysis of Elemental Memoir
A fathomless mystic charade
How alluring its serenade
Witness nature's own masquerade
Mystique that cannot be portrayed
An entity most have betrayed
A spirit that must be obeyed
Awakened reflected cascade
Diaphanous and chaotic
Performance beyond hypnotic
Earth's coryphée of erotic
Mistaken to be quixotic
A creature forcing psychotic
Its soul the purest narcotic
Intimate of all aquatic
Enigmatical their affair
Foxtrot brimming with debonair
Elementally torn despair
Amaurotic and unaware
Of essence's lifeblood they share
Their fable ready to ensnare
Romance between water and air
