cold war codes

In these lines are a forgotten code,

Your dreams of yesterday move me further,

Through the next part,

The next line,

And I just keep stumbling,

Across these cracked boulders,

And knobby branches,

And yet you come for me,

And me for you,

******* the new day with broken paws,

Screaming at the stars,

With gaping maws,

Our eyes,

Shut,

To the morrow,

Yet always open to yesterday's whimpers,

I bring this to you,

The Cold War enigma,

So you may decode some piece of my encrypted soul,

So a minuscule part of me,

May make it through to you,

But you'll never quite understand me,

Because through experience,

We can only ever understand ourselves,

And I love you.

But perhaps I'll have to wait one more day to see your crying eyes.
