Eyes – A poem from Bengal
Suhina Biswasmajumdar, a poetess from Kolkata, shares her new poem

Eyes’re reflection of her soul pure and true; True and indifferent, indifferent and absorbent; who cares what those eyes perceive or what message send
Eyes
Eyes’re reflection of her soul pure and true
True and indifferent, indifferent and absorbent
Who cares what those eyes perceive or what message send
What they hide in smiles and tears
Do they feel … sense or only convey like those messengers
From broken yellow pages,
Don’t know, though who knows hardly open their mind
Like the curse of Cassandra eyes only see can’t change
Can’t break or make the spell
The spell of life that forces the race to move,
Blindfolded…. with pairs of visiting eyes.
