Strong Emotions- The Ruins

#OctPoWriMo2016- Day 12, Prompt : Strong

Re posting an old poem of mine depicting the strength of memories entwined with powerful emotions.

Salvaging emotions,
Memories echoing
In the empty halls,
The air stale with dust,
Accumulated over ages and ages hence,
I stand alone, aloft,
The winged desires,
Mock the desolate chambers,
Ashen hued against the crimson horizon,
Somewhere distant, a tear drop tinkles,
Shattering the silence,
Like a thunderstorm rampant,
An owl hoots,
A cricket joins the chorus,
Beautiful is the night,
Bathed in silver moonlight,
Silence heaves a sigh,
At the spectacle
In delight!
