Valerie Dohren Poems

I wrote a poem
a simple poem
from a simple mind -
it languished in obscurity
...

Next time (if I get the chance)
I will take a different stance
Yes, try to be what I am not
And so below unfold my plot) ...
...

It was dark,
I was immersed in a fluid world,
so small within its depths.
...

Bedazzled by the burning sun
Enchanted by the moon
Enamoured by your loving kiss
Enraptured all too soon
...

Hold me tender as I slumber
Stay beside me while I sleep
Be forever in my dreaming
Keep me close lest I should weep
...

I prayed the sun would shine today
But still the rain keeps falling
It seems the clouds are here to stay -
O feel the darkness calling
...

Whilst gazing up towards the sky
I saw a wondrous sight
For in the beauteous heavens above
The day turned into night
...

`Tis now the lantern of the day
Shall slowly start to slip away
To fall into a distant place
Beyond the earth and set in space
...

Falling into darkness,
Watch the fading light -
Moving with the shadows,
Drifting through the night.
...

I saw you as I`ve never seen before
The moon upon your lovely face did play
Your eyes as starlight fixed on heaven`s door
So sparkled at the closing of the day
...
