A POEM BY ARTIST M F HUSSAIN

                                                                           

 GIVE ME A WHITE SHEET FROM UP ABOVE  THE SKY

M F Hussain also wrote poems in Blank verse.Small poems written in a language of images , landscapes and colors.

I quote one such poem that I came across today..

The poem has been rendered to simple English by me.....

(1)

If only ,
Someone could pass on that
entire white sheet of snow from the sky,
That entire spotless white sheet,
Then only,
I Could cover the infinite gloom
Appearing on your face.
Otherwise,
How can I decorate this gloom
with white flowers?
And listen,
The moment I start my painting,
Please hold the sky in your hands,
I still remain unfamiliar with the spread and dimensions of my canvas..
