Contemporary World Literature Poetry from Bengal
A Poem by Suhina Biswasmajumdar
Suhina Biswasmajumdar is a writer from Kolkata, Bengal. A life-long devotee of Swami Vivekananda, Suhina is against any discrimination. Two significant life-forces propel her – ‘love’ and ‘writing’. Suhina’s book ‘Tumi’ (you) and Songs of Silence (A Journey to Love), are collections of her poetic thoughts.
The Artist and Her Canvas
I told you: “I don’t know the grammar of your art
I just take the brush, touch the colors and
Spread those strokes on the naked papers
Do nothing – just fill the gaps with whatever my mind …”
Eyes smiled:
“Have you ever seen the farmers with his plough ….
When plays with green that turns into golden —
Just like the sun, brings smile in her voice and their lips”
And continued
“I don’t know how to sketch that pleasure
I try … I try to pour his love
In the lonely heart of the maiden canvas
To create that verse on the golden path of the universe”
