Tangled ruins lie in gilded memories.

On tangled landscapes
of ruined memories,
dead kings and warriors whisper
through forests that once were,
on broken paths travelled,
now abandoned,
their lands are virgins no more.

Very vivid indeed. The moment you mentioned kings and warriors the piece turned all the more intriguing for me. I've always held a fascination with these past events and people that i love everything that can teleport me back in time, metaphorically of course, be it an extremely short piece such as this!
Truly enjoyed. Great work!

True words written. Dead kings and the warriors would be sad. What did man do? Thank you Andrew for sharing the powerful and worthwhile words.

Immediately I am there. I stand on the landscape of my own ruined past. Memories of hopes and dreams scattered. I felt the impact of this as I recall words I have penned so very similar. This touches me as I am sure you can tell. Very few words with a very big affect. Well done!
