CAURAPANCASIKA
( Phantasies
of a Love-thief)
(1)
Even now,
I regret
her-
gleaming
in garlands of gold champac flowers,
her lotus
face blossoming,
the line
of down delicate at her waist,
her body
trembling and eager for love
when she
wakes from sleep-
magic
I lost somehow in recklessness.
(2)
Even now,
if I see
her again,
her full
moon face, lush new youth,
swollen
breasts, passion's glow,
body pained
by fire from love's arrow-
I'll quickly
cool her limbs!
(3)
Even now,
If I see
her again,
a lotus-eyed
girl
weary
from bearing her own heavy breasts-
I'll crush
her in my arms
and drink
her mouth like a madman,
a bee
insatiably drinking a lotus!
(4)
Even now,
I remember
her in love.
Her body
was weak with fatigue,
swarms
of curling hair
fell on
pale cheeks.
As if
to keep between us
the secret
of our guilt,
her soft
arms
clung
like vine
on my neck.
(5)
Even now,
I remember
her:
deep eyes'
glittering pupils
dancing
wildly in love's vigil,
a wild
goose
in our
lotus bed of passion-
her face
bowed deep with shame
at dawn.
(6)
Even now,
if I see
her again,
wide-eyed,
fevered
from long parting-
I'll lock
her tight in my limbs,
close
my eyes, and never leave her!
(7)
Even now,
I remember
her
holding
the reins
in our
wild dance of love,
moon lusture
lighting her face,
her body
trembling with passion-
delicate,
bent by
lush breasts and heavy hips,
dancing
manteled in a mane of flying hair.
(8)
Even now,
I remember
her lying in bed,
spreading
perfume of musk
mixed
with sandalwood oils-
her seductive
eyes' lashes playing
like a
pair of mating birds
caressing
each others' bills.
(9)
Even now,
I remember
the wine-smeared lips
she innocently
licked in love,
her weak
form, her wanton long eyes,
her body
rubbed golden
with saffron
paste and musk,
her mouth
savorous
with camphor
and beetle nut.
(10)
Even now,
at the
end, I remember my love's face
colored
with shining saffron powder,
covered
with sweat drops,
with love-weary
tremulous eyes-
a moon
disc
released
by the demon of eclipse.
(11)
Even now,
my mind
dwells on the night
my sneezing
awoke the princess.
Flustered,
she refused to say
"Jiveti-Long
life!"
Silently,
she put
a lucky
golden leaf on her ear.
(12)
Even now,
I remember
my love's face:
golden
earrings
grazing
her cheeks
in her
striving
to take
the man's role,
beads
of sweat strewn thick
like pearls
from the
toil
of her
rhythmic swinging.
(13)
Even now,
I remember
her bold bent glance,
her graceful
limbs stretching
in pleasure,
her voluptuous
breasts' curve
bared
by slipping clothes,
her lips
bruised with marks of my teeth.
(14)
Even now,
I remember
my love:
hands
painted red
like young
leaves of asoka,
tips of
breasts
caressed
by ropes of pearls,
pale cheeeks
freshened
by hidden smiles
her languorous
wild goose gait.
(15)
Even now,
I remember
the marks my nails left
on her
sandelwood powdered thigh-
gold-streaked
cloth I snatched
when she
rose
was clutched
in shame as she pulled away.
(16)
Even now,
I remember
in secret
her kohl-lined
longing eyes,
flower-heavy
plaited hair,
vermilion
lips
framing
her teeth's pearl lusture,
arms bound
by golden bracelets.
(17)
Even now,
I remember
in secret
her braid's
loosened ties,
wilted
garlands,
necter-sweet
smiling lips,
strands
of pearls
caressing
luscious swollen breasts,
and longing
looks.
(18)
Even now,
I brood
on her-
when streaks
of light from jeweled lamps
broke
the darkness in her white pavillion,
I seized
the chance to stare at her in secret-
her eyes
were pained with shame and fear.
(19)
Even now,
I remember
her,
a fragile
fawn-eyed girl,
her body
burning with fires of parted love,
ready
for my passion-
a beauty
moving like a wild goose,
bringing
me rich ornaments.
(20)
Even now,
I remember
my love
gently
laughing,
bent by
heavy breasts,
dazzling
in ropes of pearls-
a banner
of open blossoms
flown
by flower-armed Love
high on
the mountain of passion.
(21)
Even now,
I remember
a hundred flatteries
spoiling
the sense of her words
when she
trembled in exhaution after love-
the sweet
words came in jumbled sounds
she whispered
faintly, timidly spoke.
(22)
Even now,
I remember
her eyes
restlessly
closed after love,
her slender
body limp,
fine clothes
and heavy hair loose-
a wild
goose
in a thicket
of lotuses of passion.
I'll recall
in my next life
and even
at the end of time!
(23)
More
when I have some time!
