Poem : I Love Shillong

Image
I love Shillong, I love Shillong, And yes, I love Shillong. Even today I see your image In the canvas of my mind. I love you, Shillong I truly love you. I often think Did God Himself Paint your beauty On the hills ? Shillong, you look beautiful, You really look beautiful. Trees and greenery wrapped Around soothing hills ----- Like a land  from fairly tales. You look wonderful, Shillong,you look wonderful. The sun and clouds Play together all day long. Watching it all, My heart overflows With waves of joy. " Shillong,I love you" My heart whispers aloud. When Waterfalls, Come dancing down the mountains, Every joy within me Starts dancing like waves. Shillong, I love you. You are the jewel In the eyes of thousands of travelers. Even from afar, I still hear your call. And silently I say ----- I will come again, Shillong, I will come to you. Shillong ,I love you, You fill my heart with delight. ----------------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick

Poetry : Creation

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




The seed kissed the soil
and whispered, "Will you love me a little?"

The earth said to the sky ------
" Drench me a bit,
Let me turn muddy with joy
So I may embrace the seed ."

The sky called upon the clouds.
A gentle rain arrived.
The seed said to the Sun
" Grant me a little light."
The Sun replied, " So be it  !"

In the warmth of embrace
and the love of oxygen,
the seed, intoxicated with joy,
dreamed of creation in golden light.
From the seed emerged
a tender green sprout.

Poem : A Moment with Conscience

One day I suddenly met my conscience. I said " What's the matter ? These days I hardly ever see you ! " Hearing me, my conscience brust into  laughter. It said, " Earlier you used to keep me in the mirror, And I too would find the chance To sting you from time to time. But now ------- I'm locked away in the deep freez, solid  ice ." --------------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam kumar Mallick
