B. V. Dahlen Poems

Perhaps I'll leave this place.
I've far horizons to explore.
The world is wider than my feeble vision,
And echoes can not see.
...

There in your arms I lay,
While the stream beside us
Sang it's spring song.
There I found peace,
...

I've oft' been known to be a fool,
To give away my heart,
Joyfully,
Unaware,
...

“Fore”, he cries as his ball flies
From tee to fairway core
No cross winds to avert it’s track
He couldn't ask for more
...

The soil sips deeply
and puddles do not linger.
It laps with parched lips
at the moisture
...

She was christened Dartmouth’s Daughter
On the day she hit the water,
And her crew were men from local families.
So with loving hugs and hales
...

The city sleeps
but I a vigil keep.
Alone in silence
I wait
...

Of laughter, I know little
Except the smiles in your eyes.
My own joy was there
When you were happy.
...

The cabbage needed chopping,
a job I could not shirk,
And cole slaw would be ready
When Mom got home from work.
...

A dust mote settled in her eye
And fields were stirred by chilling winds.
The flakes of autumn swirling by
...
