Bright Flame Poem by Valerie Dohren

Bright Flame

Rating: 5.0


My love, my love, no scented flower
Could smell so sweet there in my bower -
No stars could yet adorn the night
Nor sun, nor moon, e`er shine so bright
As that which brings me love`s delight

For that which brings me love`s delight
Shines forth from you to feed my sight -
A love that never shall depart
A tender longing to impart
Bright flame that burns within my heart

Bright flame that burns within my heart
O let us not be set apart -
Stay close my love, a vigil keep
Upon my soul, which slumbers deep
So deep as in eternal sleep

So deep as in eternal sleep
That I no more shall ever weep -
O love that shines within your eyes
A love that neither wilts not dies
A love that nothing e`er denies

A love that nothing e`er denies
The greatest gift, the greatest prize
That I shall cherish through all time
Shall so extol as bells that chime
My love for you is so sublime

My love for you is so sublime
That nought there is I could not climb -
You are the angel by my side
Forever there shall you abide
My light, my heart, my flowing tide

My light, my heart, my flowing tide.....
