Long Since

It is long since last we loved
long last I asked,does she sleep?
she must wake,when replete
do not shake, a gentle kiss,
She sleeps, far her thoughts
does she remember last we loved?
Do you recall or is this dream ?
Time has long since gone,
watches long cease counting.
Shadows climb the gable
sun dials clung in wild Clematis,
steeple bells hang heavy,
pretty pulls to tempt, waiting
long since last they rang.
Why do they wait, is it for you ?
It is long since last you loved
break this dream, does she move?
see her eyes, dark pupils . . .
Does she dream as you?
Wake with a kiss, gentle gossamer
to enslave, she will remember
when last we loved
far since and long ago.
