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 : Umiam




(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.
