"White Once, I went to seek A place to fulfill my dream. Meghalaya, abode of clouds, To me, a heaven it seems. Place where every pain, decides to cease. A place of magic, where joy flows like a breeze. While dwelling through leafy grass, It's touching my feet like foam. I saw a hazy image of a girl where I roam. Seeing her beautiful eyes, makes me amazed. I suddenly realized the time. From her, I shifted my gaze. In my mind, her beauty is tranquil. My mind loses its sense. Opened my eyes for a second view, which makes me look dense. She is as beautiful as before, With her luminescent eyes, Looking clearly at her toes. realized, there the truth lies. It has no lively touch, Just a pale piece of log. All my feelings for her beauty disappear in the fog. It's a lifeless body, Built like a human soul. Its beauty may look real, But doesn't play a person's role. ©Arundhuti Biswas "
