Ode To A Lost Love Poem by Valerie Dohren
Ode To A Lost Love
'Oh sweet breath of eternal life
Dance ever `pon her silent breast
Released from pain and worldly strife
The one I love is laid to rest'
Her flaxen hair, like golden corn,
Fell soft about her lifeless face
And round her shoulders to adorn
As limp she lay in death`s embrace
Still young, the bloom of youth today,
Her life had barely yet begun
But all too soon to fade away
No more to dance beneath the sun
No more to laugh in sweet delight
Nor skip through pastures wild and free
Nor hear the nightingales sing bright
In pure and perfect harmony
'I`ll ne`er forget her tender smile
Nor yet her face so sweet and fair
Her gentle kisses to beguile
I`ll cherish every thought of her'
The teardrops glistened on his cheeks
Like stars plucked from the darkened skies
He held her hand, no more to speak,
Then gently kissed her still, cold eyes
Valerie this is a superb poem! Excellently written; very classic style and very touching
A very tender and heart touching poem. Sad as it is to say goodbye this poem leaves a lasting impression upon heart. Thank you for sharing.
Sigh. Valerie, you wrote so beautifully of a dreadful time that instead of running away have found me sitting at her bedside, tears united on my chins would slide down of my neck to stop with a splash on the feet.
Valerie! Back again on poemhunter and this wonderful poem greets me welcome.
Love is ever sweet and love resides with beauty of memory. The teardrops glistened on his cheeks still bloom in eyes. An emotional poem is very beautifully and brilliantly penned.10
