Love, poetry

Machu Picchu Love – Poem

Dreams chased me last night until I caught a poem. I’ve never been to Machu Picchu but my dream told me that love is sometimes like climbing the Incan temples.

 

Machu Picchu Love

Sacred ground,

ancient valley of magic

energy abounds.

 

Stepping lightly

you climb

to the pyramid of the sun,

ribbons of color flutter with no wind.

 

Citadel of grandeur,

temples of holiness awe

until you stumble,

tumble

down stairs to the sacrificial stone

 

Head in clouds excitement

make way to

nauseous headache

 

Machu Picchu love,

like a tourist attraction,

a bucket list adventure,

grand vistas one can only see

from the pyramid of love.
