Arched Gateways

Day-20 OctPoWriMo-2018
Prompt: Time Stands Still (Form: Minute)





Image: Kishu

The ruins of a shadowy  past
In the arched art
Untold story
Of past glory.

Glories of regal opulence
Roaring romance
Legend of knights
In love's pursuit.

Captured in statues and folktales 
Sea of images 
The sands of time
Engraved in rhyme.
