i dont know how i lost the game
it was secured in a safe place
away from the prying eyes
i thought i had mastered the art of keeping things safe
i thought i was safe
i thought i was secure
when i still think about it now,
a shiver runs through my spine
and i try to run for the nearest shelter
i try not to panic
afterall, its just a phase
its just like a stupid commercial that comes in between the blockbuster movie
just when the plot gets interesting, the ad spoils it all
my game was at its magical best
i was on the way to victory ( i thought)
safe and sound
until that final moment
when i saw you
out of the corner of my eye
i lost myself at that critical moment
the moment when my whole life was turned upside down
for good or for bad, i dont know
i have lost the game
and the ball is in your court
now, i sit here
in the corner
outside the building where i saw you
still thinking about you
patiently waiting for you to come again
and cast your magic
the magic of your eyes
that has turned me into a stone sculpture
now has to cast its spell once again
and bring me back to life
i wait here patiently
i wait here for eternity

this poem also has 2 meanings :)
originally posted at my poetry site.
just to clarify, the last line is more in tune with the picture and not for anything specific. ;)

comparison between the original and this one will always be there :) this cannot match that nor is better than that, its just my attempt :)

spk, i like the what you have to say but I cannot say the same thing about the presentation. It seems like you did not have the grit of the sculpturer who gave us that 'waiting man' to chisel and polish your piece of art. :-))

Thank you Rajee :)
the lines you pointed are the lines which are the reason for the double lines.
if you look at it from a single perspective, they are bound to be "incorrect" just like you have pointed out.
but dont do that, try to look at it from multiple angles :)

A good accusation --but somehow you seem to have lost control of the theme you had. you say you do not know how you lost the game---then go on to accuse' her' for distraction and turning VICTORY INTO DEFEAT. I have not understood your 'DOUBLE MEANING JOKE'.
Look at it:-
>>>>>>>>a shiver runs through my spine>>>>>>>>>i try not to panic>>>>>>>>>>i don't know how I lost the game>>>>>>>>>I was on the way to victory(i thought)>>>>>>>>>>I saw you out of the corner of the eye
And now you say------the ball is in your court---when you have already lost the game------
Are you still hopeful of continuation of the game?
You might like to reconcile the duplicity involved. It is
