Untitled Poem by Valerie Dohren
Untitled
His name rests tender on my lips
through all the long dark hours –
fond memories of stolen love
my aching heart devours.
I feel his breath upon my face,
his trace upon my breast –
sweet whispers drift across the room
where once we soft caressed.
Then as he gently slips into
the depths where love is born,
within a different time and space
the fabric’s meetly torn.
And moving slowly deep within,
bestowing ecstasy –
I close my eyes upon the void
to feel he's part of me.
But reaching out to keep his touch,
to grasp it while I may,
It’s in the reaching out that touch
evaporates away.
(His misty image fills my mind,
a passing recollection
dancing on the edge of time –
a shimmering reflection) .

fantastic love poem by a great poet, i enjoyed reading the poem, if you find time please read some of my poems and leave your comments
To have had this strong bond of love is incredibly special. Love comes in many forms and true, true love is not always captured. Bless you.
Thank you for reading and commenting. I continue to lack inspiration, after losing my husband I remain empty inside.
The poem evokes sad feelings, the title included. The last stanza in the parenthesis is a lingering beauty. 'I am afraid I have no inspiration or motivation to write any more' - these words of yours in reply to Unwritten Soul's comment left me more saddened.

A wonderful poem, Val. The feelings that are expressed are so strong that the reader is very deeply moved. Love never dies. Sometimes the best we can do for these very special loved ones is to let their tenderness and care and kindness live on in our own being, doing, thinking, This poem is a truly a beautiful expression.
