Four 'o' clock in the morning

 

It's four 'o' clock in the morning 
between the real and the unreal
from one most tender,
the other one floating
I leave this room so neat and tidy
to enable you access to the world

 

' upon awakening will you recall that kiss?
I tug on the thread ... '

Nice flow. I’m kind of new to poetry, is this considered free verse?

I forgot to use my sign in. Google has become terrible to work in.

It harkens back to ancient Japanese verse between a man and woman, though this not of a traditional structure.
Nor was the purpose. Spontaneous, you might say,, the authors having reconnected after decades. Take it as genuine in feeling, though unattainable to fulfill.

Still,, I do not regret the circumstance
