THE GARDEN OF DESIRE
“O, holy God of Love, thou guidest there the heart where hindrances are.”
Kalidasa. (Malavika and Agnimitra)
I
I hastened homeward through the twilight lone
While on my lips your kisses stung like flame,
Burning to purest white the rose of shame
That leaped between us, scarlet lipped, full blown;
