extemporaneous.

there are dreams
 that seem.. too real
 too true, to not have been lived before
 and that corner of my soul feels
 too complete
to have ever belonged to me alone

 so i know that when my phantom fingers
 feel yours
 laced
 knuckle to knuckle
 in the most comfortable puzzle fit known
 that THAT is the truth

 and this
 the now

 (where my fingers are laced only with my own)

 is the dream

I like your spare style ... no words are wasted and you conjour up some great images to support the theory behind the poem ... in this case that there may be more to the ethereal than we know ... 'knuckle to knuckle' is great wording and conveys a tangibility and 'in the most comfortable puzzle fit known' is a great line and seems to be the pay-dirt line in the poem, at least to me. Ach, the sadness of that penultimate line! It's a short poem but there is a lot of emotional travel in it from the theory to a tangible senst to the sad twist at the end.

Beautiful , absolutely beautiful.
This is perfection. When you speak
of the Golden Key, you refer to the
finest part of living, as you have done.
Nothing wouold improve this.
