How Is The Why Do I Ache Poem by James McLain

how is the why do i ache.
can't you just tell me.
and i do so much less
when you gently.
i ache.
and knowing this gently,
you do.
and even in sleep.
weep i do.
some how,
when you gently, i move.
when you softly and gently,
you prove.
and behind my minds eye,
i sleep.
watching the swans, as i do.
i ache, watching your neck,
as it gracefully bends.
you do it and so gently,
i weep.
and i in my sleep
with out ever waking,
you sate.
and rolling so gently
each night i sleep
with you i'm in love.
and i ache across waves,
so i'm blue.
