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!
