The Princess Of Mali! Poem by tej Singh

The Princess Of Mali!



For many years, in the dense forests,
lived a tribal king who had a daughter charming,
her smile was alluring,
her looks were beguiling …
The flora and fauna of the jungle,
adored the beautiful one,

Because of her love for nature and
the care she had for everyone!
Amidst the rich blossoms,
tall trees of kissing branches,
beside the wild creatures,
singing with cardinals,
she lived with her tribe,
in the place so surreal…

Once a mighty fierce king,
attacked the peaceful tranquil,
crushing and killing very being,
that came in between his marching…

Animals fled, flowers dried,
plants and trees got terrified,
Pleading to save, they called their saviour,
the tribal king got enraged hearing their sounds griever!

Ahead he went with his small troop,
fighting till his last breath in strife,
Alas! he could not face the powerful king! …
And got slained in defending!

It was the turn of the princess to come,
for the rescue of her friends and clan,
With zeal in heart and strong willed emotion,
She darted and faced every crushing invading man…

Unlike her father, she cleverly managed to trap
her enemies into a maze
Surrounding and attacking from every side,
Inspite of few fighters on her side,
she managed to entrap and pin the king…

The arrogant ruler on discovering,
his captor to be a woman was shocked,
disbelievingly he stared and gazed,
getting captivated in chains …with her charm mundane.

Regretting his faults and errors made,
he apologized before the beauty of Mali!
For a moment a silence prevailed,
Animals and woods,
awaited her bade…

She kept a condition along,
never will the king cross or trample even a thorn,
leaving his kingdom of desires,
he shall be a part of the tribal form…

Living like a normal being,
In the lap of nature and destiny…
with full humility,
serving the world …
with
touch of utmost humanity!

The king promised to abide by every word,
willingly he stayed back to serve with her a different world,
Thus a princess, compassionate and loving,
transformed a boisterous king into a man of purpose …
with her words and heart of silver streak…
