Ache

Stroking soft the lovely skin
Vaulted Goddess in the night
The ache within my heart a din
Kissed cheeks doth make it right

But whence the pain within the heart
Sings a distant teary song
A single voice a tender part
Wanting desire becoming strong

To hold her head again my grasp
Reach'd out through dreamy eyes
Her hair through fingers deftly pass'd
I weepingly missed surprise

And as she lie upon the bed
In glowing morning light
I kneel before and bow my head
To this Queen of Starry Night

Oh Slumber take from me this ache
And give to me thine kiss
To keep mine heart from trembling quake
For the dreaming love I miss

Once alone, never again
Whence we touch my heart will mend
