A Bird Named Desire Poem by Sumit Ganguly

A Bird Named Desire

Rating: 5.0


Eggs of the bird named desire
are my life's possession,
some hatch and sing over my existence.

Halo of my father lured me to run on his track.
I preferred muddy garden path,
but smooth asphalt road was allotted by life.

In youth, I danced as a psychedelic light,
with change of air, the rhythms changed
the desire played a role to hatch an egg.

Now obligations are my fisherman's net
I long to have a white castle, green forefront and gentle breeze.
I feed the bird and keep a watch, an egg will hatch some day.
