">> eternal love of TAJ <<" a Agra Travel Page by ukirsari

"Op kapsay ho? Op kapsay ho? Op kapsay ho?" that question repeated in a very fast way from a truely young kid, about 2 years old. He's standing in front of me then I kneel in front of him. "Sweetheart, I don't know what you said." Both of us smiling and he touch my cheeks.
I found his angelic eyes.

Yes, it's not only about love story and eternal love and finding one of the seven world wonders at Agra, in a place so called Taj Mahal. Most simple thing just happened here: love!
Yes, I love this child. His angelic eyes, his cheeks, his smile and above all ... his kindness. "Ap kapsay hain, Krishna? Angrezi ati hai?" finally I can try my Hindi. Because of his lovely eyes :)

Oh Taj
No mirror can reflect your beauty
No camera can catch your grandeur
But look how lonely you stand
On the banks of the Yamuna river!

Everything was marble-white about you
Artistic, decorative and superlative
From whence has come the red border
Though eye catching and innovative?

Have you forgotten those artists
Of your creation, and subjugation
The emperor demanding their thumbs
After your grand completion!

The blood that spilled on that day
Tainted some of the white into red clay
And their mute cry of despair
Turned into silence of the full moon day!

hope you liked it, @rie. thanks. have a beautiful day.
