In Or Out? Poem by Geetha Jayakumar
In Or Out?
I just went on looking at the beautiful portrait
Displayed in an exhibition
Though placed in some corner of the hall
For me, It looked like some centre of attraction.
Portrait of handsome and charming guy
neither too young nor too old.
Whoever looked just felt captivated.
Was it the portrait so charming?
Or did I feel charming inside my heart?
Well I am not sure!
My friend told me look at the portrait deeply
Without diverting attention
And see what miracle happens.
Curiosity stuck me.
After looking deeply
I felt the star in the portrait offered me a hand
To dance with him.
So excited I got
I couldn't believe
Was it my imagination
Or did it really happen?
I was not sure
Whether he will come out of portrait to dance with me
Or I have to take a leap inside portrait to dance with him.
The confusion of in and out....
Diverted my attention away from him.
I lost track of him and forgot to give him my hand.
I felt he jumped back inside portrait once again.
Now the star stood smiling as usual.
Now I regret I lost the wonderful chance to dance with him.
I missed the lovely evening to be spent with him.
Yes, we are often in confusion of.....
In or Out
Yes or No
We ends up loosing one opportunity especially
When time matters one!

very true....some times we may miss a good opportunity in terms of confusion....like it..............
A vital message you gave Geetha very aptly through this story telling. I loved it.... very nice
So many times we are missing goden opportunity but we r made so can not avoid. I like to mention here that your most of the creations are based on your personal experience which you never miss. This is your great achievement.
Wow! great write. Loved your friends encouragement and your incredible thoughts and imagination
Opportunity comes and goes and one needs to seize it........Geetha........a moment lost is not found again.............. again a great piece
The poem gives a simple message that whenever an opportunity presents itself, grab it. But most of us ignore the concept to take right action at right time. The poem also highlights that even if an opportunity is an illusion, yet it is worth considering without losing heart. Lovely poem. Enjoyed reading it.

The unconscious desires often play such nice games, I don't know a poet who is not a day dreamer. I am myself a day dreamer and my day dreaming makes me a hero of so many lovely stories. My unfulfilled desires make my life a fairy's dream.
