Ancient Ruins all around me

The ruins all around me
Ancient artifacts
Clues to what I am doing
For this I have a knack
Delving deep inside
To see what they hide
Every little mark
A clue to which embark
This will take some time
Who knows what I will find
Long forgotten stories
Tales of love and glory
Bittersweet odes
Horrendous episodes
It will take some time
More than meets the eye
Take your time and wonder
Every hall and corridor
It is what you you came for
It is you in all your splendor
Take a closer look
It may leave you shook
