Before The Twilight Falls Poem by Valerie Dohren

Before The Twilight Falls

Rating: 4.9


If sleep should steal your soul, my love,
Before the twilight falls,
Then I shall be there by your side
When’er the darkness calls.

I’ll hold your hand and soothe your brow,
Your cheek set next to mine,
To kiss you long and taste your lips
As sweet as vintage wine.

And should such darkness fall on you,
Within its shadowed space
You’ll find my eyes there shining bright
Upon your ashen face.

Know this, my love, I promise that
You’ll never be alone,
My heart will follow as you go
Across that stepping stone.

Our life shall always be as one,
Not ever set apart –
Through all my time, I’ll ever hold
Your mem’ry in my heart.

Love, devotion, trust, faith and pure romantism; jingling words, rhyming sounds and bewitching theme. It reminds me lines from one of my poem 'My soul is thine Thou soul is mine Come on along Let our souls combine Upto our living and even after dying.'

An excellent love poem genuine expression of faith trust and commitment. When I read second and third stanza of your poem I was reminded of your earlier poem 'What say you my heart' where you wrote 'Sleep like a babe so tranquil in the arms of loving care ' It is sheer delight reading your poems.
