Winter Lotus

Intoxicated by Krishna's bewitching form,
I have renounced all propriety and wander the forest shamelessly. He strikes from the corner of His wide, lovely, Lordly eyes with that crooked, sidelong glance. O, friend! Is there anyone capable of restraining herself after seeing His smiling face, brimming full of love? I am like a winter lotus — struck, bent, and broken by an elephant. - from "Treasury of Love: The Poems of Rasakhan" translated by Shyamdas. (Available from http://www.shyamdas.com/books.htm)
