Bollywood

Beautiful and bold she paints my imagination 
Every flowing dance move a total inspiration 
Ssmiles adorn every face even if covered in lace 
Movements made elementary through elegant grace 

Lights reflect all the colours of her sunny saris 
Rainbows flow to music becoming a safari 
Bengal tigers roar a mosaic of emotion, 
carrying their sound far over the deep Indian Ocean 

Strong imagery makes her show a potent hot curry 
Partaking in this bowl can’t be done in a hurry 
Your tears will flow but your heart will fill surly not fold 
Her gold henna hand draws you out from the freezing cold 

Hollow and cold Hollywood sneers at soft and pretty 
Black blue and bleeding is what feeds that heartless city
