Distracted.

I found the quote unforgettable hence the verse - Hope you enjoy.

 

Distracted.

 

Where tides of low spirit roll in waves of dejection
my vessel of distracted conscience

heaves and moors
on shores which reach to unforeseen heights

of realization
as allurement appears

and a squall
is where my perplexity lies in passion's reflection.

 

Where the dull of my life meets storm of destiny,
in a boat of disorientated misplacement

is where I am

and tossed it seems by dropped anchor forever.

 

Where mind's sense leads my questioning heart
to the spot where attraction rises,

  
waking wild oceans of floundering resolve

is where seduction convention defies 

because new love

           has begun a song that longs to leave its mark.

Simply smashing my dear.. a super distraction from the hum drum of the moment... my moment that is..... hence I'm off to my own patch of ocean and shore... not too far from your own methinks......

these words are so deserving of more attention than they have yet received .. I sincerely hope that changes shortly.... Neville

Ahhh,

A poem of my own reflected sentiments, Dear Fay … so vividly palpable it could well have been composed for/about me and, well....!

Love your title and apt introduction commentary, and how amazingly you've portrayed such engagingly alluring metaphor I could not quit reading if I'd tried, and I surely did not.
After all, who would want to resist such smoothly, seamlessly-luring imagery and invitation as:

"allurement appears
and a squall
is where my perplexity lies in passion's reflection." (Lusciously inviting)

(Or, such embracing stimulation as):

"Where mind's sense leads my questioning heart
to the spot where attraction rises, (Um)
waking wild oceans of floundering resolve
is where seduction convention defies (Whew!)
because new love
has begun a song that longs to leave its mark." (Sighhh!)

Yep, no doubt it's a poem chasing my own heart's passions … oh, how I relate. Thank you ever-so warmly.
Beautiful poeting, M'Lady Fay … irresistibly so! ⁓ Richard 🍃

Thank you most kindly Richard - Such a generous review of what after reading it over again I deem too verbose - however I humbly appreciate the time and dissection you gave to my words. Loads of good wishes for you and yours as the festive season takes hold. Warmly from Fay.

I wish for You, Fay, a bright holiday season and an enthralling new year.

lost and drowning, being tossed by the waves of life and love , a lovely allegory of drowning and love
