The Boatman's Song 9/ Many

The Boatman’s Song 9/Many After taking some passenger, the boatman moved his boat And while oaring the boat he started his singing Tarang felt as if, someone was pouring honey in her ears While her heart and mind got enchanted by the song of the boatman It was a rare pleasure for a nymph, to hear such a voice on earth For a very long time she could not know, how much time passed away She found the boatman was about to reach the other bank’s end The Boatman was lost in his own world of thoughts Tarang* thought to find more from his mind As she was capable to enter in a human minds to know its Past, present and even future designs She took a dive deep into his busy mind and Traced all that she wanted to find, within no time But to her surprise, there were many things Totally different than what she was expecting to find The boatman was a prince in exile, escaped to save his life From those who were trying to kill him To rule his fathers kingdom and he was living in disguise From seeing his body Tarang had felt herself That this man is not an ordinary Youngman Having all the qualities of a true warrior like body But what shocked Tarang was the knowledge Of the boatman’s love affair with a princess For whom he was looking at those sand dunes And for her only he used to sing those heart touching songs Tarang* knew that this truth would be devastating for Urveshi* Who has come to earth, all along from heaven As she is deeply in love with this extra ordinary man Who is so appealingly charming and handsomely bold In spite of his just crossed teenage, he looks like chief of an army Only his soldiers appears to be missing or at rest Such was the real beauty of that boatman Whose entire life was open before Tarang* like a book And she could see even his future so bright But Tarang* was sad to know all that As her friend Urveshi* was going to affected badly When she would know that the boatman was Already in love with a princess of alluring beauty Boatman’s love story Tarang traced the love story of the boatman Which began one day, when he was waiting in his boat For some passengers to come to move the boat From the river bank side Suddenly he saw someone coming on a horseback The riders black horse was shining In that white sand spread all around, he could see that side Ravindra to continue….
