Before The Twilight Falls Poem by Valerie Dohren

Before The Twilight Falls

Rating: 4.9


If sleep should steal your soul, my love,
Before the twilight falls,
Then I shall be there by your side
When’er the darkness calls.

I’ll hold your hand and soothe your brow,
Your cheek set next to mine,
To kiss you long and taste your lips
As sweet as vintage wine.

And should such darkness fall on you,
Within its shadowed space
You’ll find my eyes there shining bright
Upon your ashen face.

Know this, my love, I promise that
You’ll never be alone,
My heart will follow as you go
Across that stepping stone.

Our life shall always be as one,
Not ever set apart –
Through all my time, I’ll ever hold
Your mem’ry in my heart.

To be with that one special person at the end and then some, to show that person true love in the final hour and beyond, to walk him through that passage way into the afterlife, never letting go; Simply Beautiful Valerie.....

An excellent love poem genuine expression of faith trust and commitment. When I read second and third stanza of your poem I was reminded of your earlier poem 'What say you my heart' where you wrote 'Sleep like a babe so tranquil in the arms of loving care ' It is sheer delight reading your poems.
