Ever notice ...

   even through a bottomless glass
   thickened moments
   the kiss that never lasts

   each hook and sway
   a lure, tempting the eyes
   tails of a fish
   the kind that wins a prize

What's the trophy?

   chance to play with the bait
   catch of the day
   forever's love can't wait

   it's in the tale
   between the lines untold
   in the water
   where such a heart runs cold

One's outlook can be another's expression.

   It's very relaxing watching all the fish swim by ...
      especially the dangerous ones!
