Into the Dark Dreaded Dynasty

Creeping behind the shadows 
Awed by its extravagant architecture
Nighttime has arrived
I peered into the dark historical ages

Ornamental columns carved with exquisite designs
Soured into the sky
The scale of axial symmetry 
Has conquered my eyes

Entering a garden so stylish and pure
With plunge bath of the night
Of lake emitting fragrances
Of the petal of lotus so bright 

Stately mausoleums
Built to satisfy their greed
Damsels of intense beauty
Their bodies have been pleased

Of warriors and horses stood gallantly in place
Ready to fight what their emperor has state 
Behind the beauty of the palace at night
All will be gone when a new century has arrived
