The brighter side of a girl: As a strange fire she adds more color to life

When I move away from her a little,
It becomes very hot, but then,
By just coming closer to her,
It’s just cool and heavenly.
Oh! Where did she get (discover)
This strange fire? (kural)
Many years ago, I did this translation. Thereafter, I was tempted to describe the infinite variety of a girl/woman, mostly touching her bright/ beautiful side:
A girl is always a wonderful phenomenon
At any stage of the evolution of society
Basically tender, gentle, warm and kind hearted
More cultured and harmoniously developed and shaped
Delicately structured like a framed picture
Full of love, life, compassion and friendship,
Not merely physical or sexual/sensual in appeal
And outlook, making you crazy
To go wild and lose your carefully crafted balance
She is also more meaningfully intellectual,
Intuitive and intellectually more inventive,
Just immensely beautiful and marvelous.
Lifting your nobler and also meaner Spirits (beastly)
Simultaneously and successfully
Effectively biologically strong
All the abundant energy
And intelligence built in that slender frame,
As tender as the creeping plant
To play a larger role in assisting
The broader world of humanity
To perpetuate its race,
And add color, romance and festivity
To the insipid life.
