Bollywood Charm

Exotic perfumes opulent Hibiscus and jasmine sentient Charming flute and sitar entice Indian chants undulating Heads pivoting eyes inviting Warm smiles reminiscent of spice Voices that throw you in a trance In a most voluptuous dance Timing of twirling so precise Long black waves of ebony hair Swaying through the sumptuous air Sweet frangipanis caressed thrice Exotic perfumes opulent Most seductive graceful movement Colorful sari paradise Hand caresses so alluring Romantic moves hypnotizing Expressive beguiling eyes slice Through melodic extravagance Beckoning magic’s elegance Playing on heart strings that suffice Such flair as spry as pure prayer Let your soul embark if you dare Swirls of sensuous bounty twice Hibiscus and jasmine sentient Charming flute and sitar entice Exotic perfumes opulent Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~NAMASTE~ 2020 AP: 3rd place 2020, Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on April 29, 2020 for contest STRAND PICK H sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 3RD on January 31, 2019 for contest 2019 POETRY MARATHON MILE 14 sponsored by MARK TONEY and May 30, 2018 for contest HUTINASHRO sponsored by CONNOR LOTTS

You have described the Bollywood movie scene so nicely, Line. These dances are called "number items" of the film. having no connection to the story.

My favourite film is The Very Best Marigold Hotel - it's probably not considered a true Bollywood film but I just can't get enough of that movie.
