I love the Handsome One


I love the Handsome One:
He has no death
decay nor form
no place or side
no end nor birthmarks.

I love Him O mother. Listen.
I love the Beautiful One
with no bond nor fear
no clan no land
no landmarks

So my Lord, white as jasmine, is my husband.

by Akka mahadevi, translated by A. K. Ramanujan
