need love and healing?
marry an indian
enjoy a wedding spectacular
with wild exotic colour
fiery energy pulsates
in throbbing rhythm and dance
enough to spark
any wizened stone fossil
flashing of bangles luminescent silk saris
pink turbans fire and magic
dark eyes smouldering with secrets
always a constant source of fascination
india
just teeming with life
colourful
honking cars
industrial strength passion
on every corner
Oh what a lovely post ... I feel India is just outside my door!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I loved both of those movies, the first a bit more than the second. I love the colour and life force of India.
ReplyDeleteThis is one side of India, for sure, and the movie image is highly romantic. I, too, turn to such images of vitality to lift my spirits. Marriage is a joyous occasion and also a great image of transformation. You capture that in your poem. (Though I am tempted to argue with your last verse and the "passion on every corner," I love the movies of the Hotel. I like that in your movie clip an elderly woman's loss of vitality is juxtaposed with the exuberance of youth. The adventure of the hotel is also a story of healing the isolation and loneliness of aging. That speaks to me too.)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed these light hearted escapist movies . I agree they did address the isolation and loneliness of aging very well .Thank you for this considered comment Susan.
Deletewell captivated :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a passionate write :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, they were great movies, weren't they? And what could be more healing than joy, vitality and passion? Just watching that wedding scene again has left me with a smile.
ReplyDeleteRall, i've watched the first part of this movie and i think the peoples of India are just beautiful. it is a story of wellness and recovery and healing so definitely fit for this motif. your poem is very well-penned. great spirit in it.
ReplyDeleteIt is those dark eyes that beguile me.
ReplyDeleteColour does lift the soul...and dancing..and singing..would it spark this wizened stone fossil too i wonder ;) (great line)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant like the photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome photos and words to entice the reader. Some day, I do hope to go to India, truly do.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! One of my most memorable trips was to India, Rall. And I can certainly say that Indian weddings are quite amazing. One of my University colleagues is Indian and I was invited to his wedding which lasted three days!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous :)
