Poem : Two People

Image
( This is the english version of my bengali poem' Duti Manush') One  person  dreams, Another  shatters those  dreams. One  moves  forward While  another  pulls  back. One  is  a  soulmate, Another  calculates. One  lives  in  joy, The other's  balance is empty in the end. One  blends  with  all, Another  is  selfish. One  lives  within  the heart, While  another  becomes  a stranger. One   speaks  freely, Another  remains  grim. A flowery  smile on one's face, The  other is  a masked  braggart. -----+-+++++------- Poet: Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick

Poetry : Creation

(This is the english version of my  bengali poetry  'Sristy'.





The seed  kisses the  soil
He  said  ' love  me  a little'

The earth said to the sky
Get me a little wet
Get  muddy  with  joy
I  will  embrace  the  seed.

The  sky said to cloud.
It rained a day.
The seed said ' Sun God
Give  me  some light'
Surjadev  said,'Tathastu'

The  warmth  of  hugs  and  love
A  self - deprived seed  delights in oxygen
Dream of  creation  seen  in golden light.
A green plant emerges from the seed.





Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick

N.B.
Tathastu a bengali word meaning 'as proposed'
Surjadev a bengali word meaning 'The Sun God'
