Valerie Dohren Poems

(A simple tale)

Under the Laburnum tree
She saw his gentle face
...

Sequestered deep in mystic realms
`Midst all the stars in full display
Encircled there by misty souls
I heard her sad soliloquy
...

Where is the night that I may rest
In silent solitude
Amidst the moonlit starry skies
With peacefulness imbued
...

Lie with me
in a golden field of sun-ripened corn
beneath a beckoning sky
...

Enchantment steals my weary heart
when'er I see the golden dawn
which so does set my soul aflame
that I should never be forlorn.
...

The sable sky devours the dying sun
Apollo sleeps, thus silent be his lyre,
So I shall sleep, for now the day is done
And shadows fall beneath the fading fire
...

Lay me down gently in fields of green velvet
Resting beneath the blue gossamer sky
Where I may gaze upon clouds of white cotton
Shimmering dragonflies floating on by
...

O shall you love me through my mellowed years
When I am no more as the rising sun
As less my visage to your heart endears -
The sweetness age thus ever has undone
...

Come with me, let’s take a ride,
Swiftly, silently to glide
‘Cross the cerulean sky;
Above the earth, flying high.
...

O step into a wondrous world
Where visions beautiful are hurled
As through imagination`s play
All thoughts then drift so far away
...
