Youth Long Lost Poem by Valerie Dohren
Youth Long Lost
O fill the desert in my heart
With words of tenderness -
Sweet words of comfort to impart
My soul to soft caress
As time weighs heavy on my mind
The fleeting years sustain -
Fond memories of youth long lost
And true love still remain
For as I walk the rugged paths
Of life`s deceiving way
Yet searching for a sweeter land
Where so to dance and play
I seek release from life`s travails
(O fortune, be my lead)
To take me thus to brighter plains
For I am sore indeed
Now gazing in the mirror where
The phantoms of my youth
So flicker as reflections there
In visions of the truth
As time has passed and blown away
My dreams and hopefulness -
I now, as in my aging years,
(The balance to redress)
Fall......., into nothingness
Gutsy poem about aging, written in your melodic style with melancholy dripping from every word. Finality its ending, fall into nothingness. Strong imagery. Well written. Now being a dead pirate I can get away with some liberties. At 400 plus years I don't dare look in the mirror. From your writing I would say you are still in your prime. Primed and ready, now put on your pirate suit and lets go sailing!
Sadly reflective but such harmonious visuals... melancholy delight tyvm karen
Beautiful and poignant and evocative with a lovely cadence and rhythm 10/10 Thanks for sharing
A fine reflection on inevitable decline with hopes or some where else to trick and appease the mind.
An amazing work of art. Well worded my friend!
I've just read this beautiful poem. It's a sad saga of long lost youth, reflective of the love involved with it: 'As time weighs heavy on my mind The fleeting years sustain - Fond memories of youth long lost And true love still remain' Really wonderful!
