Songbird's Biggest Riddle

Type: Patriarchian Sonnet
Rhyming Pattern: Abba abba cde cde

Seldom hath this world seen, a sly seraph, so celestial,
On mine weak fingers, the divine dance, invoked thee,
Rheum slips now, consumed by amorous reverie,
Reminiscing the seraph, engulfed is enchantress, enduring ordeal.
Yonder, is thy castle, barricaded and vaulted,
Fiery spirit, is smoldering, in fevered animosity,
Olethrus, in his scarlet passion, lingers, poisonously sweet,
Ruth the enchantress, I prithee, may wish be granted.
Grief clings to sleepless an eye, encumbered soul bemoans,
Inly, is biting guilt, Phantom vision, serpentine, the felonious sinner, viciously encircles,
Vexed is the spirit, wild, unseeing and distraught,
Enow, enough logic has been encrypted afore enchantress’s closed doors,
May thine intellect decipher hidden message, May sailor’s knot, untangle,
Exhausted is poetess’s meager ability, may her Delphic dream be caught.
