Hyderabad 5

Oh fleeting glances
Of countless beauties!
So much kaajal
For your dusky complexion?
o0o0o0
But thanks, for showing
Up. In the drabness
Of doing a job
You add colour.

If someone were to ask
Me, what is Hindu culture,
Pat would I say:
The ever fresh, lovely
Bindi worn by the girls.

Depth of your kumkum
Goes into the guts.
Stunning and am stunned.
o0o0
How is it that I didn’t
Notice your long pleat of hair
Till now?
Make it a silken noose round
My neck, honestly.
Let me be fated with
That lovely death.
