Versus Poeticus: Haec dies, O Dea, haec dies

First attempt at writing a poem with a precise syllable pattern.  "Haec dies" comes from a bit of Gregorian chant to which we listened in class.

 

Dea meam relinquit.

Haec dies miseriae protendent
Nihil--nihil dulces in aurem
Meam olim dixisti, sed non
Diutius.
             Amavi tuum,
Deum meum, cordes meum, et
Nunc est nihil sed haec--haec dies
Quod dies quisque eadem est ac
Dies posterior periisti.

 

These days, O Goddess, these days

 

Goddess left me behind.

These days of misery portend
Nothing--sweet nothings in my
ear she once whispered, but no
Longer.
              I loved you,
My Goddess, my heart, and
now there is nothing but these--these days,
For every day is the same as
The day after you died.
