Many Fish in the Sea

Photobucket


Damn! You pain me,
push me into sad
then into happy
it's gotten bad
we must stop wanting
what we had.

There is a fine line there
like a ten pound for fishing
catching a thirty-pounder
and finding myself wishing
that I could let you off the hook
or that you'd snap it good...
learn a lesson
from the hook’s impression?
I highly doubt you would.

I would just throw in the pole,
that would set both of us free...
but then I would have no method
for catching any
of the many
fish in the sea.

You may throw in the pole if you wish, but NOT the towel, One day you will pose for a photo opportunity with your 'prize' catch...

Passing shadows,

Keep on fishing kid.  There are some big ones down the mouth of Fish Creek.
