The Boatman's Song 21/ Many

The Boatman’s Song 21/ Many The moment the Princess turned, after making her prayer She saw him standing and waiting, Waiting for her like the Prince charming, She had met on the bank of river Ganges She could not believe for a moment Whether it was reality, of a dream come true Her love the dream man was very much there Standing before her, with a smiling face, Like the god of love Next moment, both of them were in each other’s arms And remained there, for a very long time His hands touched her silky hairs, and lips touched gently her eyes She felt as if, she was flying and flying, Amid the joy of clouds and love was raining every where, While her soul feeling, a serene piece within And her body floating like a bird in the air She was feeling once again, joy of the moments of ecstasies Which she had found, in the arms of her love, the boatman, Her face started blooming, from the stage of glooming A light of life like brightness, started sparking in her eyes, While her confidence and strength, started rebuilding in her heart As she was struggling, for the last many many days To find a way and a chance, to see her love the boatman To save her kingdom from clutches of those, Who were spreading, their vicious circle everyday The boatman knew, that he had not much time in his hands And both recovered, without wasting that precious time She briefed him, all about the story of his father the King And the men, who were trying to dethrone or murder the King, And even the Princess She also gave him a sketch of his Uncle, the traitor Which she made on a piece of cloth, telling him that He was the person, to be mainly taken care of She also briefed him, where exactly his chamber was In the Palace and while telling the number of men, Who may be there to guard that traitor The Princess said, there is a secret door from the Temple Which directly goes in the room of the Queen So that, her old mother can come directly to this Temple As and when, she wants to come to see her deity Without a bunch of guards and without the knowledge Of any one She said, I will be there in the chamber of my mother the Queen And you can reach there with you men, when every one goes to sleep There are three hundred soldiers, in side the fort and Palace Ravindra to continue 21/……………..
