Longing
I long to see you
In flowing tides of passion
Being tossed to and fro
In the undertow of pleasure
Taken to the crest
Breaking over
Going under
Rising again
Into the next
Wave after wave
A rhythmic motion
Straining against reason
Penetrating the unknown
Opening wide to the now
Swallowing love whole
And then
When the moments stretch
Thin and long and
There seems there can be no more
The shore
And upon it us
Laughing in the warmth of each other
Pushing back the world
For just one moment more
A paradise of dreams
An island of fantasy
A treasure of time
Lounging on hourglass sands
