Poem : Umiam

Image
(A poem on Umiam Lake of Meghalaya ,India) Though today the sky is cloudy, Light and shadow softly play. Umiam ---- around you gathers A fair of trees in green array. A gentle breeze flows calm and sweet, Waves rise with a murmuring sound. My soul finds peace beholding you ---- As though someone lit joy all around. At the call of birds, My heart longs to drift away. My eyes are filled with your beauty --- I wish to return someday. O Umiam , O Umiam I wish to come again someday. -------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick

Poem : What I Want




Not a measured, practiced smile ----
I crave
A smile that wells from blood-stirred
haemoglobin's tide.

No crocodile tears ------
But briny drops I seek
To rinse the soul,to cleanse all sins
in salted streaks.

No masks, no painted grace -----
I look for
A face that draws innocent kisses
on the cheek.
