When Love Has Gone Poem by Gert Strydom

When Love Has Gone



When love has gone
a person is frozen
and how deep and far
the chill goes,
nobody seems to know.

No radiance of joy
lights a life
where love is lost,
until another love arises
like a phantom phoenix
from its ashes.
and the heart burns
with its own fire
and a ferocity that reaches out.
