Inside joke

 

I like quiet intimate settings
that turn into raving
streams of laughter
due to inside jokes

This connection formed
from deep pools of stories
beyond daily experiences
from joy to grief
and back again

The formation
of friendship that
builds upon familiarly
after the formalities
have fallen aside

Although there are
moments of laughter,
there can be misunderstandings,
disagreements, and
even anger
but with
heart-filled, truthful conversations
kindness does prevails

Those connections
of vulnerability
and inner trust
can mirror what can be
seen within us
beauty or even disgust

when something is revealed
or witnessed between us
it can strengthen
or break into dust

Once a shift occurs
there is always anew
and humous moments
will be revealed

Running into You

No, I didn't knock you down

but my heart felt

your presence

approaching

my heart fluttered with excitement

of that chance occurrence

Someone familiar

evoked pleasant thoughts

and feelings

our smiles expanded

in unison upon greeting

a sense of deep appreciate

is releasing

embarrassment flushes my cheeks

arises as my inner child wants

to embrace you

as memories of

sweetness surfaces

It may be a quick encounter

with hellos, and hey how are you?

and then let's meet up

followed by a waving goodbye

Yes, as our schedules

do not align but

this short and sweet

moment has reminded me

that there is nothing to deny

I like you,

I love you,

I think you are grand.

I am grateful

that we once held hands.

For truly our heart spoken

and sang together as

I said, "it was great

running into you

my dear friend."
