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 : Wildfire




When  rot  sets  in  society,
It  falls  into  a  winter  sleep.
When  dreams  are  beaten,
Hearts  are  burned,
                The blood   catches  fire.

Fire  spreads  from  blood  to  blood,
Flames merge with one another,.  
                              Becoming  a  wildfire.

Sin  burns,  sin  burns,  all  sin  burns ---
In  the  wildfire,  it turns  to  ash.
From  that  ash, dreams  sprout  anew.
Scorched  dreams  begin  to  dream  again ---
