Valerie Dohren Poems

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

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

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
...

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
...

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
...

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
...
