Come You Lonely Bird

Come you lonely bird!

-----

Walking forever in this same lonesome street!

Still waiting for my special someone to meet!

I have passed beyond the best of my years!

With each step forward, the blind end nears!

Know how far I've come, not what's left to go!

It has been hard all along, will it always be so?

Hear cheers in houses around my own silence!

I can't put up a fake smile, I know no pretense!

Sometimes I wonder was anyone made for me?

Or I had to live by myself, that were the way to be?

If you are one feeling deserted, join me in my walk!

I want to hear your stories, and have mine to talk!

Come you lonely bird, let's together make our nest!

We'll travel the walkways of life till we're put to rest!

Darlene Gifford Date: 9/23/2014 7:08:00 AM I am so happy that you are not the Lonely bird! And how true, when you say we do write for others, too. Not just ourselves. Then my message was for all the lonely birds out there in your poem. Thank you for the correction. I got too emotionally caught up in your poem! Best wishes to you and your wife. :) Login to Reply Darlene Gifford Date: 9/23/2014 2:20:00 PM I think It's probably the "I" in your poem that give others the wrong impression. Without giving an author's note of explanation how are people to know? But I also heard once that a poem should not have to be explained. So what's the answer, I don't know? I say, If it doesn't bother you, then that is all that really matters. Blessings! Asghar Nazeer Date: 9/23/2014 9:35:00 AM No problem. I wrote a poem for a contest at All Potetry and my Facebook friends started asking did you have any issues with your ideal wife and life partner. Here it is not clear but there my notes included it was written to a prompt. It happens with even friends who know I've a loving wife for years. That means I write as if I am the one going through those feelings so I take it as a compliment. Best wishes and finest regards. Pleasure to see your comments.

Darlene Gifford Date: 9/23/2014 12:49:00 AM Hello, I truly hope you are not satisfied to make your nest in loneliness! My wish for you is take the leap out of that nest and fly! Keep looking. Never give up. Those who continue to seek, find. Look in areas where your interests lie. My best to you, my friend in poetry. Login to Reply Asghar Nazeer Date: 9/23/2014 5:37:00 AM Hi! Thanks for your very sincere and well meaning comment. I wrote this poem for the lonely birds out there expressing their feelings as a poet. I am blessed with an adorable and loving wife for whom I wrote my first poem "You're my lady, made for me", the poem of the day on Aug 30. A poet has to write for others too as you know. I'm glad it is so close to real emotions that you thought it is about me. Best wishes and finest regards.
