how many have seen you?
Your iridescent swirling waves the colors of rocks
browns, pinks, blues, you have such depth
I feel complete, observing nature’s utmost beauty

Taj Mahal

Fantastic story in milky marble,
In honor of a wife, so praiseworthy (?)
Though seems overflow of fidelity,
Tajmahal is Muslim art, painterly;
From around world he brought so precious stones.
He ordered his whole kingdom to labor.
Mumtaj bore Fourteen children, soulfully;
Her youngest tried to break his father's bones,
Didn't Shahjahan keep wives for favor?
Six, the history says, quite dolefully...!

A Historic Event

Mystery of a life born from another,
cry of the baby and death of the mother,
amidst war, military tent in the wild,
during the royal birth of her fourteenth child.
little pink princess wailed for maternal milk,
blue and cold lay the queen, blood dripping from silk!
her warrior husband king had conquered the north,
diamonds and wealth, his victories brought

Taj Mahal

Noor* of Taj Mahal, jeweled in red stone 
 death or love, tranquil oasis alone
 rich jasper and jade hanging on its walls
 in cold melody, mourning music falls

 Mesmerizing bride in gossamer gown
 Veil reveals... the majestic palace crown.
 A medley of corsage strewn in sealed dream
 opulent facade,  beauty is the theme

Your Taj Mahal
Too many times you hoisted anchor
there isn't time but you should thank her,
for being such a goober for so long.
You have made her life a Taj Mahal
there she swims in waist deep indigo,
she's reflected in the cesspools of your morning sun.

An ivory tusk is what you're after,
a monument to fun and laughter,
she shaves

Taj Mahal

The poet Rabindranath Tagore described it thus:
"Like a solitary tear suspended on the cheeks of time"
This structure is indeed sublime
Located in India, it is one  of the most visited places
Its name means Crown of Palaces
And it took about 20 years to build

Hailed as the epitome of love and beauty
Emperor Shah Jahan felt he had

The Taj Mahal of India

O Marvelous Mahal
Abode of love with no equal
Though I never saw you for real
I can sense your power so surreal

O Marvelous Mumtaz
Your story life would never erase
Your knight has you in eternal memory
Such is willed as your glory

O great edifice of love
Seeing you I wish to be a dove
Flying all over your structure
As the one

TAJ MAHAL

In this October day, as usual,
Late  in  reaching  fulfillments
Memoried  paths  resenting familiarity
Historied tracks crumbling
A cloud-shred trailing a mass to merge
I walk into Taj and stop to find
Adorned love placed in an ornate pedestal.

Still selling their lights profitably are the sun and the moon
And getting her name yet again and

The Taj Mahal

Of the wonders of the world that have been
The Taj Mahal is the best I've seen
With it's milky marble white
It radiates a glow on a full moon night

Shahjahan built The Taj for his lady love
Once she'd died and gone to the heavens above
In hope of reminding him (it might)
Of her face glowing on a full

Taj Mahal Symbol of Ageless Love.

Across busy Arabian Sea,
Before the lands of sun flower skin,
There she is, land of kohinoor washing her feet;
Where three sisters of sea joining their hands
Where northern brother stands highest peak,
Circled by these centuries old neighbors;
There you are, dress in white, in that open sanctuary.

From far and near of the four winds
Those eyes and ears that
