Nocturne Poem by Valerie Dohren
Nocturne
Captured in the fall of evening
Stilled my soul in sweet recline -
Spanning dark unclouded heavens
Where the moon and stars align
Haunted by the night`s sweet music
With a song of soft lament
Soothing then my heart in solace
Filling me with pure content
Then to `bide in glow of fireside
Watching dancing shadows there
Nothing but the moment lingers -
Joyful just to sit and stare
O, the dark shall be my haven
So to rest with easeful mind
Fixing yet my eyes upon you
As in splendour so entwined
Night of nights I bow before you
Come, O come and take my soul
Into realms where I may wander
There your beauty to extol
Quiet now, with calm acceptance
Sorrows borne now fly away
Gently sinking into slumber
Yet to know another day
Into somnolence then drifting
In your grasp my spirit keep
Dreams shall take my thoughts in whispers
Peaceful now - I`m falling deep
Night is peaceful when we take our temporary rest! the first two stanzas have something in them to attract the feelings of the readers! Thank you for sharing!
Your poem brings a soft soothing image. Everyone that reads this can see themselves drifting away with you into a somnolent spell. A really great poem Valerie.
It is good to be back in the garden of true poetry. This is a soothing, highly refeshing write. Now, I am waiting for my next bedtime. A sure fire 10, but somebody got it wrong.
I was reading thispoem again from my favorite poem list and i loved it as much or evenmore than the first time. Masterpiece!
Superbly written; very imaginative; beautiful beyond words. I can only read, re-read and admire your poetry.
Poem that wraps the cosmos round us then to a trance by the fire and sleep and so relaxing for the reader...great... regards
I rate your poetic elevation over these lines as superb. I salute the powerful poetic charm you ever mantain too.. But... But I request you to go ahead with more vigour in this raw world that needs for a few more decades... The unknown 'blessed state' may be your right place if it really exists. But Valerie Dohren is sure to stay here in the form of flesh and blood as we readers need you for many more years.
