Valerie Dohren Poems

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

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

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
...

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
...

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
...

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
...

1
I saw the teardrops in their eyes
Which filled my saddened heart with pain
I pray sweet children, through all time,
...

O, I will search for you, my love,
Whenever all the world is done
When earth no more shall spin around
As at the dying of the sun
...
