Red
Red
The bright vermillion sindoor
As I added to my hair
I looked brand new
A beautiful maiden fair
The bright red Tika
As I applied to my forehead
I smiled shyly
I was a bride newly wed
The crimson bangles
Jingled happily in my hands
As if they were running
Some love errands
The scarlet lehenga
That I adorned
Showed the color of my heart
As I married my adored
Thus started my journey
Of love clad in red,
Nights full of passion
Days full of things unsaid!
