Timeless Towers.


                               

                                     
        Walking along the crowded lanes of a place called town,
        I  was  looking  for  beauty  in  the  midst  of  tall  buildings
        That were mere matter-of-fact shelters,
        Made up of the sweat of masons and their task force;
       The absence of a mind-moving magnificence in a frame
        Denotes the death throb of the aesthetic order.
       That  a  body  without  the  soul  is  not  a  welfare  state
       But a wretched work house for hapless zombies,
       Is what I picked up from my town- strolling point.
       From within, did my sub conscious voice speak out
       The truth, in a stentorian, soul – sustaining   style.
       Anything not designed to suit the soul
       Stands to serve as a lamp post
       Without hitting the pages of history for long, to be known.
       It is the dreams and delights of an architect of finesse
       That transform shelters into monuments
       With a fascinating fitment formula for the soul,
      To cherish and steer the dynamics of beauty
       In forms that outlive the flow of time.
