Beautiful Ache

Lost in dreams, my mind wanders free,
Echoes of haunting melodies resound;
My only wish is to be with thee,
My wayward soul yearns to be found.

This need I feel within my heart,
This ache that grows deeper every day;
Infusing my soul, and yet still apart,
I can do naught but be still and pray.

For I only ache for that which I crave,
But for distance cannot touch or see;
So this beautiful ache is my mortal nave,
As I lay me down, I will dream only of thee.

~you reached inside, you touched my heart,
and I am all the better for it~

simply beautiful. The ache is more beautiful as part of life.

"For I only ache for that which I crave," what a plain truth!!

enjoyed.

You could have the nave of me with a poem like that.

Terry,

   I believe this is the first poem I have read that you've written. I don't get around here as much as I'd like, and you must have slipped by me without a "Welcome!"   So, "Welcome!  I hope you enjoy it here as much as I have!"

Beautiful poem!  BTW, I enjoyed learning of the definition.  Thank you.  I look forward to reading more when I'm able.
