Detachment reigns over the scary world to breed the seed of crawling distress
Suhina Biswasmajumdar, a poet from Kolkata, West Bengal, shares her two fresh poems
A writer from Kolkata, Bengal and 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.
Detachment
Some other day
Saw the shadows of their souls,
Suffered from the sorrow and their sins,
They tried to save the shivering sons of Adam,
Someone of them asked
“Detach from the cry of the crowd
Detach from the curse of the crown
Detach from the care of the cradle”
No one tried to listen then,
No one even tries to listen now,
No one will listen to them ever,
Only some distinct distortions whisper…
From then detachment reigns over the scary world
To breed the seed of crawling distress,
To split the heart from the hindering hands,
To connect with the flow that exists no more.

Is it distress?
What does restrict you
To hide your hunger…
Your tongue, emotions or ego
Or that vanity which you’ve got from your granny whom you follow?
Now they belong to you,
And you learn to move forward
From your hunger or desire
From your wish or will
From blank verse or dark satire,
Now
You learnt to move forward
To crush or fire your hunger
To feed or get rid of your anger
Or take rest…
Heaven may help you to get
The silvery silence
Of
The moon,
Coming soon,
Listen to
The voice of the gentle world
Once more reminder to share your word
Black or pink
Who cares … not even you…!
What’s your view?
Hide your hunger
Or follow the crew?
