Metamorphosis...long back...

A hush in the room
Broken by the jingle
Bangles dancing, anklets tinkling,
The dawn was breaking.

Smeared kumkum, droopy eyes;
Like rising sun across the sky
Rumpled sari, entangled rings
Waking up, to feel her dream.

Hair cascading, dark and long
Scented jasmine on the floor.
Her man beside her
A smile on his lips.

The cool water, running down
Recalled her senses: it's THEIR room.
The mirror had changed her world around
Was once a girl, now a woman had born.
