In youth hath other places
Seemed much bigger in a small man's world-
Ere o great wonderous mind
Treasure thine vial of innocence,
Sweeter doth the heart grow fond-
In Summer, Breed thy natured mind
Imagination hath caught flight!
O, Thou art a bird of any kind-
Free to flee away since birth
Devouring the aging of a child.

Fleets set upon thine brow
Habouring at the quivered bottomlip-
Keen teeth mining blood
Thy sunken face admits thine lies,
Thou were at the Forgotten Ruins-
No belt could punish thee more than words
And thou art wilting, Burning like the sun!
Sweet tapestry of innocence now none.

O, Those old Forgotten Ruins,
Me and thee hath stepped upon-
A piece of heaven's paradise
Be it not destroyed by man!
It's light gone out, O, Bitter wasteland-
Lashed upon by hands of war
Now a desert in the sun,
So gracious it stands with-
the backdrop of the moon
a calmness like the sea from view;
No remedy could cure those thoughts.

With thee laughing at my side
We'd search like hunters
Clinging to a copper find-
As if gold laced
The palm of our hands,
Then we'd drink a skin of water-
Pretending to be drunk on Wine
Dancing in the sands,
Sometimes we'd explore the unexplored,
Hide and seek were a dangerous game-
Finding bones along our path
In a tomb without knowing;
We'd spent most of the day
Playing amongst the dead!

In youth hath other place's
Seemed much bigger in a small man's world-
Now of age, Looking back with smile's
Past-time were the thing of memories!
In age hath those place's
Seemed smaller in a big man's world-
Searching for the unexplored
As i sail away from those shore's
I'll never forget the ruins;
Or the times we shared, Dearest.
