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 : Mother Durga Is Coming

(Photo credit Ravi Roshan,free download from pexels)




My heart whispers -- Mother Durga is coming.

So many words rise within me,
yet they remain unspoken.
The thoughts of heart
Stay  locked within.

Last time, I had wished to say --
O Mother, grant me the strength
to gift my wife a new sari,
to clothe my child in fresh attire --
But the words never left my lips.

Instead,within my heart I prayed
O Slayer of Demons,
do not falter in Your battle !
Yet even that remained unsaid.

And when You arrived ,Mother,
Your Presence filled me with such joy
That I forgot everything else.

But this time I shall speak,
I must speak ----
Mother, make me the demon myself
Mother, make me the demon.
