Scent of Lavender

You are the beauty loved exquistely
Though absence strains with pain an anxious heart. 
My spirit speaks, in lone soliloquy, 
Grand passion's pleaful prayer we never part.

I stand enchanted with the gift of soul 
Embedded deep inside my essence by your kiss 
So filled with light of love it made me whole, 
Exchanging emptiness for bounty's bliss. 

A paradise profound in you I found 
When dawn broke new that day you set me free 
From all addictions to which I was bound; 
Your love did save then gave life ecstasy. 

You are the scent of lavender in spring; 
A songbird's song sung softly on the wing.

To find someone who brings such pleasure to your life is a gift, Tom. Your poem is so romantic and beautifully written. Sonnets are my favorite form and this is outstanding. Best wishes, Carolyn
