Valerie Dohren Poems

Sweetest heart of all design
Shall you ever yet be mine
Come, my love, and dance with me
In my arms you're meant to be
...

It’s okay love, you can go now,
but set the door ajar as you leave –
just enough for the light of your memory
to shine through.

100th Anniversary Poem

(Considered to be the greatest maritime
disaster of all time - 14/15 April 1912)
...

Behold of the splendid ev’nin’
At the closin’ of the day;
The sun is a-slowly leavin’
And a-fadin’ soft away.
...

No more rhythm, no more rhyme
Out of step and out of time
The planets in their orbits falter
Our destiny we fail to alter
...

Heaven...

We speak of doves and cherubims
Of angels chanting mystic hymns
...

It matters not how moves the world
Since you have gone away
For turning, as it turning does,
Turns not my night to day.
...

I've lost the road to Paradise
Dark shadows bar the way
The path is strewn with memories
Which dim the burnished day
...

Close the door when you leave,
place a barrier between our hearts.

This night
...

The wind has sighed upon my leaves
Through many ages passed
A sheltered place for he who grieves
Beneath my branches vast
...
