There is no mention of fairness
found in its meaning,
and joy is only vaguely described.
There is no right or wrong.
although misleading
The avenues have to be retried.
There is no decision to be made
fate must take its choice.
Destiny's voice,
the choice of the ride.
The signs seam to be clear,
but the mind begins to stray--------,
and stray--------,away.
There is no mention of fairness
found in its meaning
and joy is only vaguely described.
There is no right of wrong.
Your heart does the leading,
Love happens..."You Don't Decide"

"Love happens"... so appropos! Almost like the sh*t happens saying... it happens, so deal with it. *shrug* I guess I'm in a pessy-mistic mood today. I'll work on that! :-)
I think was a different work for you, rather deep and not so "light-hearted". I liked it a great deal!
I like this a lot. Slightly atypical for you, I think is the little bit of variation you put in the 2nd stanza, which jarrs and surprises the reader a little, which I like. I also like the overall theme, which could be applicable to our other emotions as well.
The poem has good 'bones' and it would be intriguing to see you develop it a bit further and flesh out some of your ideas. the picture is great and really makes me want to read more!
This almost sounds like what I'm going through right now. I can relate and understand. I can almost feel "my" pain and struggle in this. You know what I mean. Don't you.

The picture is so funny! At least he has that hairy chest she wanted.
I found the second stanza to cause the flow of the poem to veer off road slightly, and seam should be seem. Other then this, I agree completely. You don't decide who you love, or when. Straying minds rock. Rock on, Anthony. Rock on.
