"Varanasi is older than History, Older than tradition, older even than legend"- Mark Twain

Poets and Writers are grandiloquent, aren't they? Actually they consider it their birth-right, got from womb. But this fact also can not be ruled out that World becomes hector of eyes if flowery and pompous words are not used.
Well, I went to other direction. Leave it.

Amidst all this violece of world, there is a city of bliss and mirth- the city of Kashi, Varanasi or Benaras.

Here is the first part of my poem-

Smiling at history,
Smiling at dwarf tides of time,
Sits in meditation Kashi Nagri,
Silently flows the Ganges sublime.
Beauty of elderly is wrinkled,
As beauty of Kashi is Temple-d,
And twenty three times one thousand-
The number of temples is counted.
Telling tales to tales and lores to lores,
Customs to customs and mores to mores:
The ghats of ancient rocks and stones-
Guides of mortal beings of bones.
