Love Poem: A Tale

A Tale

She said to him
You hurt me
You left me
All alone
Seconds rolling into minutes
Minutes into hours
Hours, days
Days fathered weeks
And weeks became months!
Yet I heard not 
From you!
Oh! How my heart
Burns for you!

But he had to go
Life itself isn't stagnant.
Is it?
Rude was the storm
Cruel was the journey
Thorns he had for pillows
Lime he had for food!
But his heart
Never left her side!
The distance kills him
Time and again
He wanted to leave
But nay...
... The cash is needed!
Thus he had to wait....

Finally he is back!
To where is heart is...
What a reunion of hearts!
She had suffered
She was pale
He had pined for her
He was a teacher's cane.
... But when he sighted her
He became full and filled
No food could do the work
Only her sight
Could work the magic!

They were joined
Never to be separated
...Parted
Again....
... For ever?
