The Boatman's Song 11/ Many

The Boatman’s Song 11/Many Many moments passed, but none spoke a word Or tried to moved away and remained lost In each other’s thoughts They were lost in each others beauty and charms Suddenly they found, they were in each other’s arms None spoke a word and no one tried to depart In those most cherished moments, love was showering on them Thousands of flowers were blooming in their minds And the fragrance of love was spreading in their hearts Unknowingly both of them, became so dear to one another As if, the Goddess of love had blessed them for each other Those were the most lovely, beautiful and memorable moments For which one waits for ever and for ever Life is a strange drama they both were thinking Where what may happen in the next moments, no one knows ever In the meanwhile the princess heard a sound coming from a distance She got alert and made a good distance from the boatman So that the visitor may not know, for what purposes she was here But before leaving the boatman, she uttered in her lovely voice, Few words, which were glued with love, “My dream man I am princess of this kingdom I will come back to hear you and your songs very soon some day But at present I have to go immediately from here Please don’t ask anything right now from me” Without a moment’s delay she moved away from there To a place, where she had left her horse in waiting for her The Princess rode on the horseback and moved here and there As if, she had reached on that place, without any purpose And came because her horse ran speedily and brought her there She pretended to move the horse towards the direction From where, on an other horse, her father was coming He called, O Princess you are here, we were searching you Every where over there, but could not locate you any where Very innocently she replied,” O father, I was trying to see the river And the sand dunes spreading all over here there And was about to return when you have come over here” Ravindra to continue ……..
