In Different Worlds

we live in different worlds,
yet, my love for you
bridges the expanse and concretizes us
into the solidarity of one.
the difference of two, still
we bind as one despite the disparity of distance.
my world is a place
of wide, blank avenues and peopleless streets,
filling space with the nothingness
of illusory dreams and discount futures.
your world is a place
of thriving, crowded ways and thousands of hurried souls.
hustling and bustling they move feverishly
into the market places of their fears and their expectations.
we live in different worlds,
yet, my love for you binds us two as one
both tied beyond the difference that stands
between us and forges love that knows no boundaries
and forever keeps us one across the miles…across
the distance that love ignores.
