I – The Loner

a poem by Samrajni Ganguly

Like a dream in an eye,
I move on and on, so fast-
Somebody please stop me
Before I’m gone, so past…

Somebody please call me,
holding my hands,
B’coz I don’t know myself,
Where this foolish me stands.

Somebody please turn me around,
Show me the world’s lying behind-
My drowsy eyes carry me away…
Alas! a way back I cannot find.

Somebody please lay a rock
that I ponder on the way-
I’m shut in a world of darkness
show me a sun’s ray.

Somebody please whisper in my ears-
that mantra of joy-
I’m dwindled to pieces
but I’m still a coy.

I’m amidst you, smiling…
my soul’s struggling in there I see,
Somebody please mercy my plight
And bring my soul back to me-
