Sonnet Xvi - Oh How My Heart Does Yearn For Thy embrace Poem by Valerie Dohren

Oh how my heart does yearn for thy embrace
With kisses soft to set upon these lips
And oh that I could see thy beauteous face
Then feel the touch of thy soft fingertips
There are no words that I could e'er convey
To speak of my enduring love for thee
Nor yet a whispered song or gentle lay
Nor e'er a sweet and tender melody
But thou art gone to that far distant land
Beyond the reach of all this yearning heart
Forsooth I'll never take thy gentle hand
As thus we are forever set apart
……….. Through all my life no joy shall come to me
……….. To know that I and thou can never be
