was and is

lets argue
shall we

come find yesterday with me
your fingers moved so full of life
i swear I heard your voice

days before
i saw your face

and the distance tells us
smug lipped
- reason cutting in
to steal this dance

i told you
we knew us
i showed you
unusual

nothing here
will ever make sense
no one here
could ever know

late at night
when fingers ache
and minds are tired
- mine reaches yours
and again we breathe

this night was never ours
my friend
but it belonged to us
all along

I have read this several times and find new meaning (to me) every time. Well done.

the who...who gives this power ? who 's toys are we ? yes questions are real . I like the thought this produces.

A back and forth indeed... Lovely writing. I am entranced by your emotional depth and the way that you create such smooth and clear imagery with so few words. I'm going to take this one with me tonight; tuck it away think on it for a while.

Thanks, GF!

this almost could be a back and forth relationship between the writer and the muse..

"it belonged to us/ all along"

but i also like.."the night was never ours" sort of like...we didn't own it, the words did...
i love the line "i showed you/ unusual"

that could be in a regluar relationship...you found out how different i was from others...but...again...that muse playing...the back and forth..the unusual poems...
okay call me crazy...but this took me there...and i loved it.

every turn of phrase..every stop...every movement.

Very thoughtful review (nothing new there)...you're not crazy, though. Truly enjoyed the interpretation....thank you.
