Valerie Dohren Poems

Oh, somewhere in the deep, dark night,
I lost a lovely dream -
It drifted through my sleeping hours,
Just like a sparkling stream.
...

It never came as dancing flames
To set my heart on fire,
Nor did it come as stormy seas
That filled me with desire.
...

Lost memories I seek to find
In dusty caverns of my mind -
To travel those abraded trails
Then lift those misty tattered veils
...

Our love came in the gentle Spring,
So sweet and fresh and true -
When we were young and unafraid,
And all was clear and new.
...

The stars are shining bright tonight
And the moon is gently glowing
The land is softly bathed in light
But a cold, cold wind is blowing
...

Little yellow flowers
Dancing in the breeze
Little yellow flowers
Huddled round the trees
...

I saw two shadows walking
Yet I was there alone -
Two shadows softly drifting
As I walked on my own.
...

Stay just one more day with me
Don`t fly away or sail the sea
Stay and soothe my trembling heart
Stay that we may never part
...

My husband died just recently
And I am in a tizzy
The paperwork that needs be done
Is making me quite dizzy
...

O could it be that we have known
Such tender love before -
That we have loved each other so
Upon some distant shore.
...
