Valerie Dohren Poems

Oh it was beautiful …….. from a distance

How it glistened and shimmered in the sunlight
like a diamond cast down from heaven ….. I thought
...

Feelings drift like echoes
Through the hollows of the mind
Touching all the senses
As there within defined
...

Great eagle spread your golden wings
Above the world, my load to bear
Transport me to the realm of kings
That I may find some solace there
...

I can’t believe that you are gone
For you are all around
You’re here in everything I see
In every passing sound
...

I will leave you silently
In the still of night,
When the birds have nested long,
And the moon grows bright.
...

(For my dear husband, who passed away
on 4 September 2013) .

...

Her ashen face upon the pillow lay
As then the light about her hair did play
Her eyes so glinted with the coming day
...

Oh they are so beautiful
Dancing beneath the trees
How they captivate my heart
Stood swaying in the breeze
...

Ever shall my heart adore you
`Cross the boundaries of time
Always will my love endureth
Over mountains yet to climb
...

O gentle as you please, my love,
I am yet still a maiden
And ‘though I yearn to know your will
My heart is heavy laden
...
