The Boatman's Song 10/ Many

The boatman’s Song 10/Many The beauty of that black horse got doubled With the glittering beauty of the princess on the horse Who was elegantly riding that black horse beauty While coming towards the boatman with a speed He had never seen earlier, when a lady was on a horse Her shining long black hairs and few locks on her face, were Blending with the ravishing beauty of her charming face Which even the sunbeams were trying to penetrate To kiss her rosy lips and her glowing lovely face And with each gush of morning beams A blush came on her lovely face On which hundreds and thousands can live and die And can wait for a whole life to see that face Her body was glittering like a gem Because of her teenage and beauty excelling her age And her youth over sprouting from her bosoms From her princes sly top and riding trousers She was dazzling the eyes of the boatman As there was no one else Who could dare to behold her beauty and grandeur Which was par excellent, any where on earth She stepped down from the horse back With a beautiful sharp jump on the sand And stood beside the heavenly beautiful horse She saw the boatman was standing near his boat And was singing a melody unaware of her gaze The moment the princess heard that voice Her heart jumped from her chest Which had just calmed from thrills As she had stepped by jumping from the horseback And her body had calmed only few seconds back Enchanted and allured by the beauty and heaviness of voice And totally stunned to see his manliness, so warrior like tight She forgets her princes sly pride and got lost in adoring His song and his enchanting voice Coming from the depths of that singers heart Suddenly she found herself standing before the boatman Lost in his heart capturing eyes There was no one else except these two And the boatman could not believe Whether it was a dream or a reality come true He too was lost in the charms of her eyes And even forgot to finish the song he was singing And felt only that someone was penetrating In his heart and mind, deep some where very deep Ravindra to continue….
