Ruins Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Ruins

Rating: 5.0


They have become a silent story
A story written on stones and walls
Touch them, run your hand they will come alive
Will speak to you of passion, betrayal, envy,
Compassion, deceit, and death, everything...

Though they are part of ruins now
Yet they lived in grandeur in the past.
Time is mightier than everything else
The alluring perennial beauty disappeared.
The truth is apparent and lies underneath.

You need a heart to hear this silence
And this silence has many stories to reveal
Hence silence please.

In a few seconds I was led to a monument that had been ruined through forces of nature by reading this wonderful piece of art. Very vivid depiction of ruins that could tell a lot of history. They are the pieces of evidence of power, beauty and grandeur. Your final stanza gives more emphasis to the write. Great lines. Beautifully crafted and well executed write.10++++
