Life
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 ...
Val, I just read your name in a poem by Joe Anderson. He likes your poems as much as I do. I am still writing some but need to get back into my stride. I hope you are well. Every day is still precious.

...and might I add.....you are...the very best! {{{hugs}}}
Nice poem, thanks for sharing it
This Woman is a Gift to Earth.....
She Writes and brings Heaven Closer.....
A marvelous story poetically expressed. Truly wonderful.
excellent poems. you are great in explaining your feels. i invite you to read my poem
Valerie is definitely among the most talented poets on Poemhunter.
She is not afraid to give enough space to her feelings.
Good feelings, negative feelings, she ventilates and lets them move
She uses a wonderful language and striking images to translate the emotion into fantastic verses
Reading her poems is like taking a rest in an oasis
I hope to read much much more on PH from Val
quite brilliant, lovely work, thanks for sharing and not dispairing
A poet of great sensitivity, beauty and charm., like the Masters once were.
With words she paints such charm and gives the reader this wonderful sense of well-being
If poems were like paintings, hers would hang in the Louvre.
Shall I, No More, Contentment Praise
Beautifully couched Val.
