I Once Knew Love Poem by Valerie Dohren

I once knew love, I knew its touch
Its gentleness and pleasure
How soft it felt within my heart
A gift to always treasure

I once knew love, a wondrous thing
A sweet and lovely blessing
How great it was to feel that kiss
With arms so warm caressing

(When love is young and heaven-sent
Beset with endless yearning
Such feelings so enchant the heart
With shameless passion burning)

I once knew love, those whispered words
Which moved my soul so tender
I once knew love, I knew its touch
Full drowning in its splendour

I once knew love, but now it's passed
A memory to ponder
A memory that fills my heart
With joyfulness and wonder.
