MEET ME

 

Smt. SHYAM KUMARI

 

Glimpsed by me as perfect Beauty,

If you want to reveal yourself, O my love,

In the repulsive leper

And the deformed and ugly,

I’ll kiss their feet.


Sensed by me as sweet Ecstasy,

If you want to course through me, O my love,

As the misery of the beggar,

And the heart break of the bereaved,

It will entrance me.

 

Fount of all Knowledge,

If you want to unveil your light, O my love,

In the babbling of an idiot,

And the chatter of the childish,

I’ll love thee as yourself.

 

Meet me as and how you will,

 But, O my love, meet me at last!
