To Allure, Need Not Be A Nude

The mere imprint of your bra belt Beneath the tight-fit voile blouse That I had scanned on your back, While sitting behind you in a bus Was so much to kindle my lust That even a cabaret dancer at best Can’t emulate with her naked breast. Where is the validity of nudity? The mere sight of your covered breast That I stole from your robust chest As you, to serve me tea, stooped, With your sari end no sooner slipping Than your hand upon it restoring, Had so much current to conduct Than could a girl, exposed in a bath suit. Where is validity of nudity? The mere sight of your knee made me mad When you waded across a brook, Lifting your sari to the raising water, Your legs being visible up to knee, The sight even a circus woman can’t beat, With arms and thighs fully naked And the body springy and supple. Where is the validity of nudity? No need of nudity to produce acidity 13.11.97
