do you feel me

by morning, before my eyes rise, i reach to my heart to feel for the string.
a little tug tells if its still attached to yours, or if its untied.
though the connection feels weak and no messages have been received in days, the firm tug back warms every inch of my body.

eyes never meet, nor do our fingertips
hearts never touch, far from your vagrant lips
cradled in the memory that once was in front of me
turning pages backwards to read when our hearts were free
deserted in your reminiscence though connected through resistance
i find flowers blooming in your eyes when you remember it's real,
your branches reaching out with wings, flying over consequence
                                              because its surreal
                                                                 bizarre
                                                                 unusual
                                                                 strange
                                                                 freakish
                                                                 uncanny
                                                                 dreamlike
                                                                 unearthly
                                              that we exist together.
tender is your kiss that gets sent by night and hollow is your heart when the time isn't right
i feel you for certain, but quite in the mist-
you have untied the string from your heart and tied a bow on your wrist
days when you switch back, my wrist better my heart
yet finding a hole in the time of this world to pull both sides of the string apart-
blue moons come and go and we wait
                                               and wait
                                        fate can wait
                                               and wait
                                             we'll wait
                                              until wait is late
                                              and fate mistakes
                                              friends for mates
                                              and love for hate
                                              and proud for shame
                                              and real for game.

by night, i'll tug on the string and hope that it tugs back. my eyes will rest as my heart will nest in the colors of whats left of the sunset.
