When Dreams Collide

He had dreamed himself
to be in love with her
and vice versa

He taught himself
not to dislike anything
that she liked

unaware that he was
reflecting
deflecting
projecting

rejecting
much
horse sense

Choreographing ideals
they trance-danced
blindfolded

Lovers cling
to each other's dreams

they may make-out,
make up
make believe

It all
can be
perfectly perfect,

just as long
as that
mutual mirage
remains
