MENEL: Old-fashioned sweetheart changes note in a tumult in the sky.
C IRTH: Letters lose approval, we hear, in the pass.

Take a crack at this.

1. Sob in confusion for him
2. Rare metal follows proposition for him
3. Lady of the flies
4. A bruise in confusion followed by a material for her
5. Ancient city preceded by a chemical element for him
6. In confusion, Nordic poem loses a note followed by a reversed trunk for him
7. Female name is followed by a pronoun for her
8. Direction precedes confused flower for him

3. Elwing?

5. Orome?

Nope to 3. It's far easier than that.

3. Shelob? Metaphorical flies?

8. There are so many flowers of both kinds, but I will try SAEROS, s plus a rose, although I doubt if there should be an article as well as the bloom/river.

Nope. For 3, try finding synonyms for 'lady' and 'flies' and that will give you the answer. For 8, the flower is a Tolkien flower.
