Marriage - An ode to my just married friend.......Ritu..!!

Music and chants
sunlit air and silver chimes
jasmine scented roses - floral décor quixotic
turmeric tulsi sacred and exotic
crimsons and purples
yellows greens
delicate poised
splendid is the bride
solemn vows, new promises to one another...
subtle sacred spell of love that binds and knits this bond forever
a few streaks of scarlet and gold
hanging in the fragment of fiery cloud
sparks endowed with minds
spirits unmoving in diffused delight
an ardour outrun of light in those eyes
may long and prosperous be this journey called 'Life'
may you discover together eachday as it comes by....
may the azure of unerring smiles rest and be blessed.......!
