blood red
dancing peacock
adorns right
dholak and shehnai
play rhythmically
on left
hennaed hands
rekindle
my bridal memories
stolen glances
of dream-filled eyes
the anticipation of a new life
mingled with apprehension
at straying off
familiar roads
***faith tied everything together
and coloured my hands today***
