Chapter 131

புலவி

Feign sulk; embrace him not so that We can see his distress a bit

Sulking is the salt of love; but Too much of it spoils the taste Wife Addresses Husband

To leave the sulker unembraced Is to grieve the one sorely grieved

To comfort not lady in pout Is to cut the fading plant at root He within Himself

Pouting of flower-eyed has To pure good mates a lovely grace

Love devoid of frowns and pets Misses its ripe and unripe fruits

\"Will union take place soon or late?\" In lover's pout this leaves a doubt

What's the good of grieving lament When concious lover is not present?

Water delights in a shady grove And sulking in souls of psychic love

My heart athirst would still unite With her who me in sulking left!
