7. A PALACE IN STILL WATER

 

This vast expanse of blue tepid water,

the yellow sun evading the skies,

the beauty all so glamorous,

the shimmering spires of the town.

green pastures ,chirping birds,

colored sands at their perennial best,

puts beautiful palace at incisive test.

stalwarts built it firm and strong,

entrepreneurs decorated it with bronze.

water cascading at umpteenth places,

makes it the darling of all races.

garlanded with human emotions,

looks like a fire ablaze at night,

a real treat to the human eye,

with tawny fishes saying goodbye.

the colorful bonanza of gaudy lights,

the orchestra singing to a perfect rhyme,

the ornamental clock tower gives a midnight chime,

blissful silence descends all over,

as i succumb to the delight of invincible sleep.
