DISTRACTED

It was never an option for me,
Focused on winning bread and providing the meat,
On a straight cause, my heart travelled.
Not willing to make any side stops along the journey.

Unexpectedly this image flashed across my gaze,
My neck stiffly turned in the direction of my distraction
Boom! I was off track, with my head viewing from the position of my feet, and my feet up straight like a head.

Oh! How did I lose focus?
The me who talks with me in the inside,
Constantly presenting the image of this ravishing figure on the screen of my inner eye.

All I wanted was to bring into my reality this ravishing image, sitting next to me as I resume my forey.
But like a mirage, the more I try to reach out,
The more this "all I want in my life" keeps running further.

All the man living within me could say was,
May be not today, but if you ever look my way,
I'll be right here to catch your gaze.
