Friendship is continuous;
it evolves, and it revolves
around the sight of each other,
the feelings of one another,
the small kisses in the doorway.
Friendship is a love circle.
It trips around and rotates around
tricky angles, when the one mate
feels the other is in trouble.
Often, I feel like touching you intimately,
exchanging my kitty, Nikki, for your warm breasts,
thighs, and the touch of your behind
or just hours of endless talk and child babble.
But tonight, I am heavy, wondering beneath
your shallow words: are you alright?
Has the day or night been good to you?
Friendship is continuous.
It evolves, and it revolves
around the sight of each other
the feelings of one another,
the small kisses in the doorway.
Friendship is a love circle.
