I Am A Lonely Bird Poem by Prabir Gayen
I Am A Lonely Bird
I am a lonely Bird
I am a bird lost in space,
I am lost within my dream,
Within my exasperating dream,
The dream that is selected for naught,
My dream was to conquer me,
My indomitable spirit and ambition,
With the cessation of dream I am lost,
I am lost like my lost dream,
Having nothing to do or to think,
I am a vagrant soul with nothing to munch,
Like a bird lost in space with sudden strom,
I am out of myself and no path to get home,
I am a homeless bird singing outside,
The world is too much to rest,
Too dreamy to break the dream,
The dreamless fragrance with dreamful pain
for having lost the root,
Mind's tedious path is pathless like
tenebrous womb of joyless Muse,
Life is like a long waiting to go beyond,
To pass into nothingness and Joylessness,
The Joy is like useless muttering for
what have been lost,
Life is lost in the sea of life,
Air is lost in the breast of air and space,
The sheer joy bears no fruit,
The pain absolute is like dreamy false,
Like the song of a solitary bird I am lost
in somewhere in nowhere,
Waiting and waiting and waiting for nothing,
Only death can Invalidate all invalid
ways and means that swayed this tiny self,
The conscious mind to breath step by step
to meet the breathless state,
Life is now like a lonely bird that sings
Constant without rest for unknown motivation
having no motive.

(1) The poem seems to be an extension of poet's quest for dreamless fragrance with dreamful pain accompanied by nothingness, Joylessness and a breathless state. His 'indomitable spirit and ambition' seems to have been lost somewhere through his journey.
