The Girl in the Rajashani Veil

The Girl in the Rajashani Veil, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

she was sitting
in the bus
with her relatives
all male
her silhouette
serene sensuous
all female
she was
a disembodied
form of my
fairy tale
the girl
in the alluring
rajasthani veil
on the wings
of poesy
we both sailed
around me
soundless silence
thus prevailed
my fortitude
my ineptitude
at the doors of her
destiny time
derailed
she won
i failed
on a stake
of curiosity
my soul impaled
