Sensuality

Across the room I could see
A pair of feet approaching me
The sari skimmed her soft feet
For me it was a visual treat
Small dainty feet to and fro
The curve of the arch mesmerized me

Red vermillion outlined the sides
I could hear the soft jingle of  payal’s
The nails were painted a dainty pink
The toe ring was silver with a flower or two
She stood now facing me

I looked at her from top to toe
My mind was made up it had to be 
I had fallen in love with her beautiful feet 
My new bride turned on her heel once more
I blushed and headed for the door.
