The beautiful decay of Venice
I sat on the Gondola,
Cruising through the canals
Mesmerised by scene,
Captivated by the land
In the City Lagoon there was,
Broken walls by the canals
Soft waves made by Gondola
on the foundation
of sand
A city of beauty
Stagnant in time
Old is her features
Made of marble and lime
Untouched by the World
Like a Virgin of the modern day
That’s where her wonder lies
That is her beautiful decay
