Jewel of the Raj
Rominda
Looks like a ruby set in a Maharanee’s wedding ring
Looks like a circlet of wild orchids
Looks like a fine jade pot holding precious spices
Rominda
Walks like a ribbon of water rippling over rocks
Walks like a willow swaying over the riverbank
Walks like a wild swan gliding onto the lake
Rominda
Smells like sweet Turkish delight in golden bowls
Each perfect dusky toe in silver sandals
Is worth the ransom of a King.

Inspired by a girl glimpsed on Roma St Station in Brisbane - and thanks to my daughter Moni who is always a willing subject for my art.
Really strange because when I saw this and read it, I believed it was another you -- could it be??
Lovely.
You have brought her to life from a glimpse--perhaps she'll visit Soul Food in other ways as well. A beautiful gem of a portrait,
What a delightful subject and how different to think of Roma station as I knew it long ago and the Taj at the same time!
This is Turkish Delight and worth the ransom of a King.
