The Alluring Mehndi

A poem that came to me on seeing this picture.


The Wedding chimes, rang in merry,
For she walked down the aisle
Possessed and charmed, in a beloved spree
Cheeks blushed to a plump cherry
The envied wind of the woody path
Stealthily blew her reddened jowls
That spread the color of fire

Like her palm’s Mehndi décor!
