Columns of climbing stark white marble pierce the cloudless sky
Wall upon wall of stone scarred by the cries of ridiculed death
Odes to the strength and corruption of man

Figures gracefully intertwine in playful symmetry
Masses deciding their fate with one toss of a coin
Buying stolen kisses from a glowing epic of faces in stone

----------

A rose and a fountain
Walking the timeless streets
Sensing memories not your own
