The Gaze

Innocent face,

Glistening eyes,

Heart-stealing gait,

Enchanting smile,

Beauty so great,

That these eyes cry,

Often in separation.

Oh Keshava!

Only Your devotees are aware,

Of Your mischievous mind,

Loving heart,

And eyes so deep,

So entrancing!

That they can pierce any opaque wall,

They can enter deep,

Into any soul,

They can convey Your secret messages,

Just by the gaze,

Simply by just a simple, transcendental gaze,

This fallen soul can feel loved,

For all of eternity.
