Vallerie Lobell Poems

Do coroners lie when loved ones die?
I'm sure their hearts are in the right places,
Most diffucult job in the world, far as I can see,
Detailing why and wherefore to people they're facing,
...

Beckon to me once more,
And awaken my drowsy heart,
For it will take some tender urgings,
We're too far and too long apart,
...

Why must your love be bittersweet?
Warm and wonderful as May,
Then cool and indifferent,
Changing day to day,
...

I will float away on westward wind,
Leaving all memories behind,
The renewal of a soul rendered fustian,
To a better place and time,
...

Hiding from memories, that's what I do,
Trying so hard to get over you,
Like flashbacks from nightmares, they hit and run,
I know this misery has only begun,
...

Who is this one who calls my name?
And always sets my soul aflame,
Who's this one I can't forget?
I've loved since the day we met?
...

Where can I send this broken heart?
It pains me so in my chest,
It has been so torn apart,
How does it yet beat weakly against my breast?
...

I rocked the baby and hummed Danny Boy,
While the aquarium softly bubbled,
The boys are gone, I am alone,
So painful, as my heart is troubled,
...

Today's your birthday, what can I say?
To let you know how special you are to me,
And show you to that place in my heart,
Where my love for you always will be,
...

I stopped and smelled the roses,
...
