My Beautiful Lady | Chitra Kohli

THE FOLLOWING POEM WAS SELECTED IN WINGWORD POETRY PRIZE 2023 LONGLIST.

Supreme and white,

Bright like the first sun sight.

Calm and composed,

Pretty as a rose.

Sweet and Supple,

Iridescent as a bubble.

That's how dreamy,

Is my beautiful lady.

Chitter and chatter,

A voice that could flatter.

Round and pale ,

Eyes with a heavenly glaze.

Sculpted and fresh,

A face so perfect.

That's how charming,

Is my beautiful lady.

Sensitive and quite,

An ultimate delight.

Rough and tough,

A woman that tenderly love.

Respectable and humble,

Can make your heart crumble.

That's how crafty,

Is my beautiful lady.

Warm and Compassionate,

With hugs so great.

Lyrical and playable,

Like a good night fable.

Devoting and nurturing,

A universe within.

That's how motherly,

Is my mother, My beautiful Lady.
