Poem : I Love Shillong

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.
