Colours of India: poems

 How are you Shillong

I traversed  crisscrossing ten walls of clouds to  link up with you.


How are you doing, Shillong? 

By dibakar purkayastha


I have navigated through colonnade of vigilant eyes of hundred tall pines 

This time, to have my secret rendezvous, with you, 


my dear Shillong.


Enveloped the time with unwanted drizzle,

Shivering chill and whipping wind,

a sudden vintage adour.


Ten thousand of cold breeze I intersected, to endure you,  

I swam though maddening smell of your naval, and got tipsy; 


oh my hamlet, my Shillong.


Oh dear!

Arrange ten thousand of your meadow and Moore 

with manna dew and morning fog;

Decorate the welcoming garland 

with a new epic of sweet pines 

Welcome me again, my dear

let it be my second honeymoon.


How are you, Shillong?
