The sweet ache
Audrey Cook 1955 (Los Angeles)
Every time i awake
i inhale the aroma
of lavender hyacinth and dill
my eyes turn
to the window sill
thoughts electrified
of a love unified
of your hand on my side
when off to dreams
we glide
a soft glowing passion
that does not deride
what a thrill
hot and cold chill
in a love
that will not spill
and make no mistake
this feeling lapping over me
is a sweet ache
About this poem
this is about an aching longing and yearning for two lovers to come together
