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
