Vinita

Ever walked into an old Roman Museum
A sextant and the Orion
And Antiques of Colosseum

English Orchids and John Lennon
On the 1960s gramophone
Teaching the modernised Indian English language
With the Pheromone of a rich Bengali past

She reigns comfortably on the cushioned chair
Right seated next to Barren sir
Brewing stories from her flavoured romantic past
And her adventures in Bangalore

Serves the red hot wine she doth pour
To quench my curiosity I devour
It tasted sour and a little sweet
To my expectation she does meet

Vinita likes to be called Vinny
Wishing every time she were skinny
Forgetting how exotic and delighting she is
Always so elegant and full of wise
