Parallel Worlds

We’re contemporary lovers
from two different universes.
Entry into either must be
through imagination or dreams.
Once arrived, perception is real
and what was prior, impossible
to attain is now possible:
Our futile love becomes yielding;
Worldly differences disappear;
yet our conceptuality
always plays out differently
in these dreamy parallel worlds;
but one thing remains a constant
throughout these fantasies: Our love.
