Hampi - My Most Favorite Place On Earth Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

Alluring
bewildering
mystifying
enchanting;
everything
so gloriously
amusing,
did the creator
come here first?
rocks upon rocks
making my eyes blink
in disbelief yet in joy;
silently those temples look
at devotees who forget to pray
as they are in wonderment
just like me
as every moment
captures yards of vision
imaginations;
gasping for breadth
I walk away in satisfaction
in awe, in reality
in mystery
as those rocks
those temples
touch my soul
and usher unknown
memories of Gods.
