He knows that knows, not all

Relish of lips, their sweetness,
Breasts’ cute contours, their firmness,
Poetry prime and mellow,
Who but the knower would know?

Poet’s note: Sanskrit has thousands of verses of wisdom called Subhashhitam. The beauty of a beautiful woman, breasts’ firmness, their right contours, he knows that knows. So also a poem’s mellow and mature taste.  The transliteration of the Sanskrit verse follows:

Adharasya madhurimaanam, 
kucha-kaathinyam, 
drishah tathaa taikshhnyam |
Kavitaayaah pari-paakaam, 
anubhava rasikah vijaanaati ||
