Portrait of a Girl

                pulcherrimae


sunlight, effulgent, reflected from her hair
takes on from it a hue a tint
of sundara-kancana beautiful gold
and goes on to illumine
the leafy landscape
making it take on some of the qualities
of gold of beauty of golden beauty
in its turn
her arms turned slightly outwards
her hands exhibit a cryptic gesture conveying a message
only the Absolute Lover can decode
fresh refreshing reflected in water
her planes and curves concavities and convexities
are ever so slightly off here and there
kama the god of love must have practiced archery strenuously all day
before setting about creating her
so that his hands would tremble ever so slightly in the process
