My Playground

Possibly...compatible...this friendship that smiles
Consistently...reliably...over miles and miles
Difference...experience...just to add the spice
Incredibly...delectably...cut and dried and diced
Pals and buddy's beating on a playground for two
Tilt-a-whirl...you go girl...laughter just for you
Cheeks blushed pink...makes me think...is it raining there
Here I'm warm while you are wet...are you dark...I'm fair
Where is your playground...east coast...perhaps west
Fingers play the keyboard...passions try to test
Friendly forms in verses...playing under stars
Mercury or Venus...Neptune...perhaps Mars
Can you see me grinning...wishing in the night
Playing in my sandbox...hoping that you might
Venture to my area...gripping eyes that shine
Hugs to hugs embracing...a friend who is all mine.
