Good Books And Good Looks! Poem by Varanasi Ramabrahmam

I am comfortable in the midst of
Good books and good looks;
For
Good books and good looks
Always have my reception;

I am attracted to the design and colors
Of the covers and also the contents;
Both occupy my mind
And my heart rejoices
In the company of good books
And good looks
For
Good books and good looks
Always have my reception;

I am proficient in languages and
Can follow and understand many a sound-kinds
Creations in books and voices of good looks
Are pleasant, sweet, and touching;
I am matured and my vision has expanded
In their loving and delighting
Interactions and conversations;

Both books and youthful loving looks
Fascinate me and draw me nearer
And I enjoy pouring through them;

Structures and contents of these;
Beautifully brought out subjects;
Are food for thought
And appetite for romantic and aesthetic heart;

I always relish and get nourished
In going through them;
My mind matures and my heart ripens

I am My Self in the absorption of both;
Become blissful, peaceful, serene and silent
In their union;

Good books and good looks
Always have my reception
And make me Divine in spirit
