Question: What do you think,,,is indecision a decision,,, or fickle fate !?

questioning gaze
seeking, wondering,
from across the way
caught, quickly averted

eyes turned down
courage summoned
peeking shyly
then lingering too long

wisp of a smile glimpsed
quickly turning back
cheeks burning
my mind reeling

imagination inflamed
powerless to act
questions throbbing
answers sought

risking exposure
hope raging
searching
not in vain

her back turned
shoulders sagging
steps shuffling
chance wasted

To answer your q!.!.!.I think it can be both!. if I'm undecided and the decision gets made for me by another before I can stop it!.!.!.!.fate has dealt me an injustice!. Now to your poem, I like this!. It speak eloquently of something we all have experienced!. I do think you should have gone n tapped her shoulder though!Www@QuestionHome@Com

That is one though question! If indecision is a fickle fate, how about lousy decision that 'd rip apart the entire society, or just oneself!? We may regret (or be contented with) some decisions we 'd made as much as those we hadn't made!.
When the results are in favor, we link the decision to our high IQ etc; otherwise, we 'd be looking for an escape goat, and fate is always there to take the blame, so to speak, and that is a our fickle fate!.
As for the poem, Its a nice read!The wording is very well stated, but flow takes a different form, its not smooth, almost each line has a pulse of its own, like (a clock) ticks!. And it was perfect for the theme!.
Thanks for sharing!
