The Genesis

The multistoried building stands
         desolated in city environs
      with floors still ‘under construction’
  and a heap of grabage fouling within its fence.
The decoration of fragrant garden within
  accentuates kind sight of the passers-by.
Captivated by machined simplicity
	      streamlined with time,
              he stands there perplexed 
	  at the discovery of alloyed divine element
              trying to redefine the domain
	  to reformulate the structured phenomenon.
Assigning adjectives to the noun
   raises deep eddies within
     wading through the velveted admiration.

NO,
‘She’ won’t submit her soiled devotion
       in the circumambience of sensitive rays
           piercing through the pitch-dark clouds.
“I would better set the garbage ablaze”- ‘she’ said.
