Methodically atop, each stone, askew
gracefully set, a scape, pleasurable, to view
Weathering all, withstanding, time
ancient cities, stand, always, in prime

Asymmetrically sculptured, from the eye
unobtrusively, blending, with the sky
Cobbled stones and narrow, streets
soothed in whimsical, eye catching beats

Pillars adorn, each archway, with bliss
a Cherub, poised, with an arrow, to miss
Ewers and urns, spewing trailing, blooms
iron gates, protecting, perhaps, enemy, looms

Tapestries of ruins, all telling, their tales
a history unfolding, the mystery, prevails
Romantics, ponder, these walls, that speak
while time and craftsmen, indefinitely seek
