why do I flounder, when opportunity knocks?
what am I afraid of, this girl she prob'ly rocks.

seems I never have the courage that I want,
unable to express myself, won't even take a jaunt.

bear with me for a moment, maybe even two,
perhaps the fear will melt away, and I will come to you.

sweet

GET-R_DONE!!!!!!!!!!

nice.

Closed mouths never get fed like the man iam4u said
"GET-R_DONE"!!!!!!!!!!

great write

Actually, I'm keying in on the fact that you used the word "flounder". Perhaps you just have that style - You hold still and blend in until the time is right.

Very nice!

Grooving off this line: "bear with me for a moment, maybe even two,
perhaps the fear will melt away, and I will come to you"

You must have been reading my mind....

Rare Finds

It is the wind,
that topples the vase.
the breeze and the warmth,
that brushes the face.
A mystery unfolds,
in the bending and the rising
a look in the eye,
a bit surprising.
Such a find
cannot be compared,
when the veil uncovers
love truly, rare.

welcome

I feel your frustrations.

It's a crazy world.

I too fear failure, but not the kind most people think of.

I'm not afraid that I'll be rejected.

I'm afraid that I'll fail her.

Better off not to intervene in her life.

Better off to stay on the sidelines and let life pass me by.

I don't want to be the one to hurt her.

Past experience seems to suggest that it's impossible not to.

Better off if this world never came to be.

Just relax and go with the flow my friend. If it doesn't work out atleast you have more then what you have now. Why be alone?

I find it hard to beleave a man of your IQ and talents feels that way. But i guess all great minds have little nitches to over come ... I hope all is well with you my magical friend

Thanks for the comment Bill.

Love does best when it's spontaneous in the moment. Sometimes thoughts can get in the way by bringing future concerns into the picture when they should be left in the future where they belong. I never did learn the thing about "Take no thought of the morrow". It always seemed like nothing more than a shirking of responsibility.

How can one enter into a relationship without taking thought for the morrow? It's seems like an oxymoron to me. I see a lot of studs who take neither thought nor responsiblity for the morrow. I guess I'm so determined not to be one of those, that I end up being nothing at all instead.

In any case, for Kalunda;

Your poem inspired me to write a song. You can hear it in the following thread:

I can understand where your coming from my friend Only a wise persons is always thinking about tomorrow, but sometimes you just need to relax and enjoy the moment. No one can controll what tomorrow may bring, at least not 100%

Take care of yourself my friend
