When Love, in mercurial flight forsakes
The heart that it once cherished
Tears that flow leave
Vows and rings...tarnished.

Mercurial is well chosen. It adds a lot of meaning and fits in nicely with tears that flow.
A profound comment about love. I like your use of metaphoric language. They add much weight to your statement.

I would like to translate this poem
so i'm looking at your earlier postings, cynthia, and came on this one which, makes me think again about what love is. is it primarily a feeling? is it a commitment? can love, as you seem to define it here, be rekindled as proverbs 5 asserts? -glen
