He took some colored powder in his hands
and smeared it softly across her cheek.
"Yellow, for the day they smeared your skin with turmeric"
He took some more now, of a different color
and smeared it across her other cheek
"Pink for the way your face glows when you see me"
With some green powder now
He strokes her arm
"For the future we will share together"
As he places his hand in purple
and reached out for her other hand
"For the little ones we will share our next Holi's with"
And finally he took some red
and with his thumb sealed her forehead
"For the day that you and I became us"
She looked like a colorful mess now.
"Happy Holi", he whispered.
But nothing made her feel more vibrant
than the kiss that followed.
