Friendly phone calls,
Simple voice-mails of succinct words,
Hmms and umms of hesitation and deliberation.
Speak it just so,
And listen!
Enthusiasm pours through one speaker,
And resounds on the other end.

An inquiry made by an intellect with intriguing intent.
Contriving combinations of causes for contacting
this woman of his wishful thoughts.

Today,
Happenstance brought happiness,
With a serendipitous sighting and salutation.
Tremors tiptoed across his voice,
Telling of his thrill at the encounter.

He ponders if there is reciprocation,
As she hesitates at recognition
That this could be more then friendly.
