Sweetly We Greet

So sweetly, we say high
dominoes collide
the great wall collapsing
crossing borders with a flirtatious
stride, the synapses sparkle
an ear to ear smile

confidence in biding time
window sill thoughts kept casual
instead of flying into premature clouds
so easily turned gray, with such a thunderous
temper tantrum during rainy days
slight disappointment can go a long way

Simply enticed, a beautiful collection of letters
as I spell out your name
curious about the interesting way
it rolls off a tongue
like a word spoken intimately
ticklish on the ear

But I'll just say hi, a sweetly manner
my hand waving confident but shy
just saying hello while wishing that someday
we lie comfortably naked in bed
and when the nicotine cherry burns out
I can say goodnight
