Small town with a great past, <br />Ruled by many kings, <br />ships of olden age, <br />Left it's shore <br />In search of other cultures, <br />Life seems to be at standstill, <br />When we see the rock edifices, <br />The grand temple on sjore, <br />Telling the past glory, <br />Lost over a period, <br />Seeing many kngdoms <br />Come and go, <br />Glorifying it more and more, <br />But now a vistors' spot, <br />The granduer in tact, <br />Tried out by the awesome sculptors <br />Who toiled in heat, <br />To erect and chisel <br />The pieces of art, <br />Time couldn't destroy. <br /> <br /> Ravikiran Arakkal<br /><br />RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mahabalipuram/
