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

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

Image
(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. ------/-------/// Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick.

Poem : Ten Fools

Image
(photo Credit by Kaboompics.com,free download from pexels.com) Fool number one Takes a cheat sheet to the test --- Fails the paper like the rest. Fool number two Knows that smoking kills, oh dear, Still  lights a bidi, puffing cheer. Fool number three Cries, " I'm weak,I'm poor,I'm small," Makes a victim of it all. Fool number four Spends his savings , what a case --- On another man's  wife's necklace ! Fool number five Even dying, loudly cries ; " Shankara, you must survive ". Fool number six Truth is simple,clear,and plain --- But his tongue's locked up in chain. Fool number seven Dances to each gossip word, Boasts the loudest ,most absurd. Fool number eight Morning,evening ,sits and chatters, Talking nonsense,nothing matters. Fool number nine Shivers at his  wife's call She's the general, he's small. Fool number ten Throws his money, what a loss ! Then pretends to be the boss. ------------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam K...

Poem : The Arithmetic of Flattery

Image
(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 ! ------------ Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick

Poem : In Search of Your Smiling Face

Image
(Photo Credit RNDE Stock Project,free download from pexels.com) ( In memory of Astronaut Kalpana Chawla) One day you looked up at the sky from the earth, One day your dreams touched the stars in the sky. Was it that you loved the sky so deeply That you choose to remain there forever? Today, just once,look down from the sky to the earth ----- All the flowers have slipped from our hands. With tear - filled eyes, everyone gazes upward, Among the stars of the sky Searching for your smiling face. --/--/-/--- Poet : Dr.Goutam kumar Mallick

poem : Silent Exchange

Image
If I lose my work, no one else is ruined. Ruined are only my wife, My aged mother , my old father, and my infant child. And yet , I rush to rallies, even at the cost of my own work, so that some 'special ' one may not face destruction. But I do not think , not even once ---- if I do not go, then he himself will come rushing To save my work.

Poem : Blood Beyond Science

Image
Blood is not just White cells and red, Not just plasma, Not the science of haemoglobin. It carries more. It holds stubbornness, It holds fire, It holds bonds, It holds pull, It holds life, It holds the dream of dreaming. Dream-- seeds scatter, Flowing vein to vein, Body to body ------ That's why, Standing before a photograph, The  successful one declares: ------" I made it ". ------------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick
