[hometext] => I like to think of myself as a student of history. It is one of my favourite pastime.s Here is my homage to history.
[bodytext] => Upon the walls of Carthage in manicured Persian gardens within temples of the Greeks on the road with Roman legions my thoughts and imagination does seek the pinnacle and pitfalls of ambition the triump of empires over the meek the rise and fall of nations upon the tips of bloodied spears in the clashing of swords upon bare shields the flights of arrows and javelin hurls the blood well-spilt upon the fields across the counting of the years in the writings of history's quill spreads a vista of terror and tears the price of power that we so wield along the meanderings of the Nile upon the tides of the Mediterranean following the Indus in its guile along the ridges of the Andean silent ruins that marks the miles of mankind's route to reach for reason history's attempt and concerted try to ascend and forge a civilized existance in the Oracle of Delpi within the chambers of Amun in the annals of prophecy hidden in sacred tombs the secrets of divinity a glimpse of tomorrow looms sins of the past its progeny the price of future's boon upon the tounges of teachers in the scribblings of scribes within the lectures of elders upon the poets' artistic stride the songs and tales that gathers the constant prevailing of tides trinkling sand that measures every hour that existance bide. within splendours of abandoned cities on sleeping pigments upon lost scrolls inside the dreams of slumbering deities tales and legends passed down from the old timeless lessons of antiquity whispers of truth countlessly told pearls of wisdom trancending eternity for all to wonder, reap and behold.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
