She Wept All Day

She wept all day In the time of departure He turned and saw her After the cross from the ridge Only sad remained forever Days past night sleepless counting ceiling The sketched lines in the wall Got dim and fade since then New lines were present with sketch again But didn't give love and life for enliven She remained to wait then Day by day eyes widening Morning sun used to give A beam of hope whether today The letter will come, but The appearance of postman Long past never reached Her evening wind started to tease Night's peace started to turn weep At least a sentence of love Through the paper and ink would have strengthened the power To live and forgive Long past he did not write In home and in village Whispers walked letting her slate Desire to talk with friends Began to feel heavy and ill Later she knew he flew towards east she concluded a deception in love Selfish fun only was in that conceive She didn't blame him because he left at ease She wept all day remembering event Then years after he came back He did not find her there Nobody was there to tell him story Ridges were changed Turned old and grey Greenery moved far not having tree Mound in which he stood Asked where were you guy! He was disheartened Remembering whether he did right Empty gave him fear and end Missing of everything He decided to return with sack Leaving dues dilapidated He could not guess She used to weep all day No one was there To tell him black day.
