Under A Monsoon Sky



Under A Monsoon Sky
The monument of three domes,
 In marble stone.
 Sitting; under a monsoon Sky.
 Emitting: sepia, grey and chrome.
 Staring and contemplating before the ancient wonder,
 Before; your thoughts took flight.
 Before the birds hovered,
 Over a sky, smog covered.
 Before the monsoon rain,
 Drenched her; again and again.
 Till she shone her beauty;
 Once more, under a full moon
 Of golden opacity.
