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
