Mute
EVER in the
heart's core rings a faint strain, The ringing of His hidden flute: Its dumb utterance
evokes a sweet pain, The ardent desire of a
burning love. In the moonlight haze, in the love-game, steps around
me Brush past to avoid eyes meeting: Half-seen the body,
foot-fall muffled, The soul is ever athirst. In the dark a flickering smile, glimmering limbs, Some one unseen spinning around: Love binds my soul as if
trapped in a prison, I am in search of the body, the golden
mine of love. Lip to lip, hand in hand anon, A vain moment's thrill: Failure increases the
greed, hopelessness sweetens the regret, Sorrowful am I in my happiness. O! when woulds't thou come into my arms with thy smile divine Pouring out all the treasure of thy
heart? A mere touch is a world
of delight, Beauty universal incarnate ― Revealed in one body! Page-175 |
