*****

This one is called "Fish Fry" and it was written while waiting for the gynecologist.

Dancing in the rain
warm in the sun
watching you from a distance
makes me feel like you're the one.

feelings left unsaid
one sided glances
no idea of what exists
but I'm going to take my chances.

improbable at best
things will surely change
is it for the best?
can we rearrange?

the fire keeps burning
the embers refuse to die
I want to explore the great unknown
someday you won't deny.

hey - I didn't say it was a good poem.
