Henna

The colors of henna On my hands Promising of Glorious days to come Oh how my heart sings The smell of henna Sometimes strong Sometimes mild Took me far away Into a fantasy land The bond of henna So strong And yet so delicate Tying with him forever Oh see me dance The design of henna So intricate And beautiful My whole life in my hands I kneel and pray Henna, henna Oh, so fragrant delicate henna

The aroma of henna wafts so delightfully from your poem, Tahera. Excellent use of the free verse form as well. Love, Carolyn
