Alternate Reality Poem by Carlos Gutierrez

A petal for a kiss,
A rose for an eternity.

Unlikely people,
From unlikely worlds,
Are never meant to be together.

As I lay my head on the whitest of pillows,
I find myself lost and wandering around alternate realities.

In this made-to-not-believe world I play pretend in,
I imagine that you would ever love me.

Countless roads and an infinity...


Of ever boundless possibilities...

Our bodies may be trembled and shaken by storms,
But even when it rains or snows,
Our bodies interwine and lock to embrace the change of an unpredictable weather,
And while I can't promise you the world,
I can always promise you forever...
