Poem

a look
a glance
a smile askance
a recognition of a kindred soul
the touch of a hand
a certain smile
just to be near
the words you hear
your heart alight

a kind word
meeting of minds
sideways glance
looking forward

a barest touch
electrifies
a shiver
a tingle
sparks fly

to be yourself
is hard to do
you're sometimes me
and you're sometimes you

you succeed
you fail
breathe in
exhale

one step
then two
a foot in the shoe

your stars collide
a meteor shower
cosmic energy
