With A Princess Poem by Dipankar Sadhukhan

In the midst of a forest
In a gorgeous palace
Once a lovely Princess
Would live in happiness
With a Prince
Of her heart and mind.

I was travelling alone
On the way of life at noon.
Then I entered the forest
And saw a desolate palace
Full of suspense, fear
And wild beauty.

I heard a creaking sound
Coming out of the palace.
Suddenly a raven flew over
My head with crowing
From the turret of the palace.
I got startled with the sound.

Then I saw rain falling
And heard the Princess
Shouting at me loudly,
'What are you doing here?
Escape at once or you'll feel
What I do every time.'

I came back home
In the afternoon.
Just before twilight
I went up the roof of our house
To watch the beauty
Of the twilight sky.

I saw the Princess looking at me
From the twilight sky.
Then I said to her,
'I have been made
Your dearest Prince.
Feel what I do now dear.'

She felt happy seeing me there.
She came down like a fairy
And sat beside me in the dim light.
Then being a true couple
We two reached a world
Made only for the happy lovers.

We wandered for some time
In quest of beauty and joy
In true Love.
Then darkness came
And evening fell
And I felt my task finished.
