Lovely Taj Poem by Reshma Ramesh

Lovely Taj

Rating: 5.0


Oh! Lovely Taj,
This is where you stood once,
Beaming with pride,
Your beauty you cannot hide


To early November light
You woke
Stretched and yawned
Found a gun in your face

Now you are in shambles
Broken pillars
Cries of people dying
Bodies frying


Frozen faith, Shattered panes
Political sympathies, Booby trap
The invisible man, Pot shot,
Fagin's day, Boman, Last dinner

Crumbled under barrage
'We will build a new Taj'
Carnage, blood collage,
Can we bring back the entourage?

One of the finest piece of poetry on the subject so far.you have written It with devotion and great nostalgic feeling which conveys uncertainty with little sarcasm in your last lines.some words i do not understand.i wish i could write like you.10 plus
