Monumental Love

Its dreams and hopes


rising brick by brick

reaching the last possible edge

like the pyramids at Giza

and its intense conflicts with

norms,logic and self

fierce like gladiators

in the grand colosseum

fighting for life



the secret pleasures

delicate and intricate as the

complex lanes of

glorious Babylon or Jerusalem



and its passionate longing

similar to the desperation

for one last gulp of life

in Auschwitz



every word turning into poetry

and every carving a verse

like the singing marbles

of the legendary Taj



know this is

the monumental love

across centuries !
