Corporal absence is good
I coveted, held and detested her.
The corporal presence is less endured;
I coveted, longed and pined for her.
The corporal absence is well endeared,
As it drops its defects being not close.

Contact itself is the pleasure
The sustained interest is there
In contact with an intimate friend,
Notwithstanding the absence
Of any corporal contact.
The gratifying interest is there
In contact with a flirting woman
Notwithstanding the eluding
Corporal contact of her.
Gather, not to grieve.

You are the second one
Whom I love by my heart
Without seeing your face,
The God being the first one.
I love God for his deeds
With which the world is run.
I love you for the words
With which you pour passion.
I need not see the God,
Who is not corporal.
After so much in flow
I must know you by face.
The love built up by souls
Cannot be put to naught
By their corporal looks.
Rather they will enhance.
God can communicate
To us without His face.
You can’t communicate
Better without image.

Old age though despised, is coveted by all.
Let's reintroduce corporal punishment in the schools - and use it on the teachers.

The great art of giving consists in this: the gift should cost very little and yet be greatly coveted, so that it may be the more highly appreciated.

Her absence too enthuses.
When I shared her presence, I was in exuberance.
When I left her, her absence kept me in excellence,
As I mediated on the essence of her presence,
Experienced in our romance, a rare occurrence.
Her presence and absence are charging me alike.

Corporal punishment is as humiliating for him who gives it as for him who receives it; it is ineffective besides. Neither shame nor physical pain have any other effect than a hardening one.
Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: XIV
Me, too, she doubtless read. For, with her hand
Raised as for help and pointing to a chair,
She bade me, with a gesture, part command
And part entreaty, I would set her there.
She could not see, she said, the Queen of Love
My eyes so coveted, and laughed and laid
Upon my lips the fingers of her glove
When I protested at the words she said.
I hardly know how it all came about
But did her bidding as she would, and she
From her new vantage bore the humour out
And mocked the more at each new mockery.
And still she held my arm and I her dress,
``Lest she should fall,'' she said, in waywardness.

Writing checks for charities is necessary and important. But it can't compare with corporal works of mercy, which are infinitely greater.

Marriage is to sanctify
Marriage is a stage,
On which a woman declares
She will have with a certain man
Sexual relation since then.
This event she wants even
For the one she has had
Corporal intimacy.

The Buried Secrets
The onscreen corporal intimacy
May fail to be purely professional
Without any emotional attachments.
Incumbents would bury the secrets.

Selfless love
When you echoed
I loved you.
When you halted
Too, I loved you.
If you cold-shoulder
Then too, I shall.
True love expects
No return.
When you granted
I loved you.
When you eluded
Too, I loved you.
If you could ignore
Then too, I shall.
True love anticipates
No reward.
When you were near
I loved you.
When you are afar
Too, I love you.
If you take to evanesce
Then too, I shall.
True love entails
No [corporal] presence.
So you can be cruel.

Don't Be A Scoundrel
The right infringed, the share denied,
The place encroached or the mate coveted,
One's agitated; fight or curse is left.
He is a scoundrel who subjects one thus.

The corporal one is carnal
She is a breed of an ass,
Her brain that of a sheep,
Skin, the cow’s, muscles
Like a horse’s and her youth,
A bud unfurling. How she enthralls!
The corporal one is carnal.
