Why Do I Ache Poem by James McLain

why do i ache.
can you tell me.
and i do when you gently.
i ache.
and knowing this gently, you do.
and even in sleep.
some how, when you gently, i move.
when you softly and gently, i ache.
and behind my eyes, i sleep.
watching the swans, i do.
i ache, watching one neck,
as it gracefully bends.
you do and gently, so gently.
and i in my sleep you state.
and rolling so gently with you, i do.
and i ache across waves, i'm blue.
