Behold! My mind, beside the portrait of the charming woman
The picture of the sweet and gracious woman
...
It was heavy rain outside.
I felt a heavy burning sensation inside my chest
...
I know what is dharma; but I am not abiding by it
I am aware of what is adharma; yet I am not avoiding it
I am doing whatever is being prompted by an invisible power seated inside my heart.
...
I'm alone, naked in this mansion of gloom
Its labyrinthine corridors, Gothic archways and spiral staircases surrounds me
I'm wandering and I have lost my way
...
The Portrait
Behold! My mind, beside the portrait of the charming woman
The picture of the sweet and gracious woman
All her features are in repose, her lips form an adorable Cupid's bow,
Kindness softens her glance, and goodness illuminates her brow.
Oh! The princess charming, you never get old
As time passes by, you glow like burnished gold.
