A Love Saga

Lores of valour and heroism of the Gallant
Reaches the beauty, cupid strikes her in an instant
The Gallant bemused by tales of her beauty, striking
Falls in amour, as he sights her portrait, poised, charming
But her father counters the match

To spite Gallant ,invites all but him to his castle
A swayamvar of kings, arranges he for his bairn, gentle
A statue of the Gallant, places at entrance
Trying to affront, insult and disgrace, the prince
The news of swayamvar reaches the Gallant

Princess dressed soigne enters the Hall of swayamvar
Frantic eyes search , seek brigand in his armour
Ignoring kings ,walks briskly to the statue to garland
Gallant hidden behind takes the garland, and her soft hand
Bolts off with her on a horse to their own world
