This is dedicated to Sheri who inspired me to write this.
I found her as I wandered
Lost in the shadows of an alleyway
In her red ghaghra choli
She razzle dazzled
Her red and gold bangles
Shiny lil diamond stud on her nose
Her red bindi struck chords
In my yearning heart
Her shy eyes refused to meet my gaze
A mystery in the making
I found her as I meandered
In the night time
An avenue with no trees
Neon and bright lights surrounded me
She smouldered and struck a pose
Her little red dress showed off more than it should have
Her glossy black eyes promised nothing and everything
She met my gaze head on without faltering
Just being herself – bold and uncompromising
