The Boatman’s Song                                               22/Many

After the Boatman left for the Palace of Malla
To rescue his love, on the advise of Urveshi*
There was no one to witness and see
The throbbing and weeping heart of Urveshi*

She knew that her liking for the Boatman 
Was getting more and more deep
Although, she was aware that it was not the Boatman’s fault
That her liking was changing gradually into love

Tarang* knew that Urveshi* was in deep thoughts
And also that in her mind, a conflict was still going on,
To leave the Boatman and the earth, and go to heaven or 
To stay a little more here on earth
So that she may at least hear, few more songs of her serene love 
If not for ever, at least for some times more
Such was the powerful attraction of earth
That it became difficult for Urveshi,* to leave its alluring charms

Tarang* reading her mind intervened and said
My dear Princess charming, I know what you are thinking
But remember one thing Urveshi,* that now it would be very difficult
Even for the boatman, to keep on singing those songs and melodies
As his hidden quality of warrior like man, has come–up
Leaving behind, his heart felt songs and melodies
This man is an extra ordinary human, and for the sake of his motherland
He can sacrifice any thing including his love
Such is the beauty of this land Urveshi, which has given birth,
To a gem like Chandragupta,* whom we know as the Boatman*
 
And his life is going to change completely,
And you would find it very soon
Perhaps then, it would not be possible for him,
To sing those melodies, even if he want to give you a song

And such is the fate of human heart Urveshi*, where poetry flows only
When the mind and heart both, overflows with powerful feelings
Emerging from the depths of one’s soul,
And from every nook and core of human heart 

Urveshi’s* heart still wanted to preserve, the memories of these moments
Which she wanted to keep with her for ever 
To bloom like a fragrant flower, in her loving heart
Spreading the fragrance of love, throughout her future life
As that was going to be, a treasure for her in heaven,
For ever and for ever

It was a difficult time for Urveshi* to control her deep emotions

Ravindra						to continue on    23/………
