Love Again Poem by Josephine Chifundo Likoya

Inside my heart the pain was so strong
Tears passed through my cheeks like heavy rains
falling down the hills
Food was like poison to my life
Everything looked so strange to me

My babe left me
After all we have been through
The reason was not enough
'I want to experience new life'
My mind could not grab where I went wrong
The sea of thoughts found its place in my head
I believed love would never come again to me

After a long time of mind disaster I told myself
'It's not easy to forget and look forward
Be strong and look the future in the eye'
Little by little my eyes started regaining their sight
I could see the image of love again
My ears could hear the sound of love again
The dried mouth smiled

This love was the first of its kind in my life
It made me forget all struggle of the past
I now believe there is always love after love
Much stronger love!
