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

Poem : Two People

( 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.
