i long to lie down with you

a (hopefully) dreamlike lover's call

i long to lie down with you
  and drain the hours
  of their time
  to stroke the long curve of your brown back
  for days and seasons
  aging and growing young without reason
  or rhyme; with my lips on your neck
  and all of both of our lives
  strung through your hair;
and to gently stir you
  for love, out beyond the reef
  and to taste your lips as they coo

i long to find you in the deep woods
  nude on the soaking moss,
  to toss off my self
  and bend to pick a leaf from your wet thigh,
  and to take you
      far away.
