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 : The Arithmetic of Flattery

(Photo  free download from pexels.com)



The boss's walk,his rise and fall,
His likes and dislikes ----
Keep your vulture eyes busy with them.

When the ripple of his laughter lingers,
Ask yourself --
Do your cheeks raise the same wave in time ?

Make sure the words 
Flowing from your lips
Carry a trembling note of servile joy.

Match your passive smoking
To the boss's active puffs ----
Strive for balance there.

Soften your oily body language,
Mixing it well with  studied sweetness.

And master ----
Don't forget to keep
One sharp eye on the scrap heap !

------------

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
