She checked herself in the mirror, one more time

The cream silk sari flattered

Her dusky complexion, her deep set eyes

Bordered with a thick rim of kohl.


Blushing at the reflection,

She pinned a string of jasmine flowers

On her loosely plaited long hair.

Her jhumka earrings twinkled

To the rhythm of red bangles

That chattered on her slender wrists.


As dusk rode into moonlight

The dim light from the lamp flickered

Gentle whistle of the wind

A mild scent of sandalwood and roses

She lay in wait, for her beloved

His promise to ride together

Into the sunset.


She froze,

At the electrifying hug

Brawny hands locked her

From behind

As her sweetheart warrior

Hummed a tune in her ear.


The rehearsals

That once played in her head,

Her script and choreography

Washed away

By the pouring rain

Mingling with red earth.
