Ache and Distance

do you dream about me 
she asked 
you should be asking 
do i ever wake up from 
your presence 
i answered
and what's a man in love 
but a pirate in the seas of 
missing 
eyes wide open 
yet her facial lines 
are his horizons and 
signs 
and what's sleep 
but changing the 
meeting somewhere 
dimensionally deep 
what's heartache in the 
presence of distance 
she asked 
it's tear sized blood drops 
running on the cheeks of 
time somewhere 
i sighed
