A mere glance, sweet caress
Of flawless skin ‘pon my eye
To hold one rooted, mesmerised
But before one moment has gone by
You’ve continued swiftly in your flight

Takes me another to face the mess
That her spell won’t let me go
By now your chimes lost in a mob’s maze
Your image fades to a leftover glow
My posture twitches and sets the Chase

Fear of losing, deep distress
As muscles tense and I seek trace
Of the glorious being now chained to my soul
Her image indented through time and space
When, suddenly, I burst unto my goal

Now, sadly I confess
That as our eyes met in close scrutiny, She
Seemed charmed, as opposed to me
Now that her face had set me free
Of a far too perfect fantasy.

Softly said...the spirit of the chase, that momentary attraction can sometimes distract from the substance interaction. We arrive, only to find our compass unreliable.
I liked the introspection of this piece...tend to think outside the box myself...
Paint the picture from what is truly at the heart, then attract the one who will attend to building the fantasy together.
Enjoyed.

Sadly, fantasies are just that...sometimes what we think we see in a person isn't what is really there. This is the type of write that each of us can truly relate to. Thanks for sharing.

Take care,
