The Absence Of Love.. Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

she is freezing
inside her heart
no flame
to warm her heart
no soul
to rub her heart
her desolate heart

he is dry
inside his heart
no rain
to soothe his heart
no rivers
to wash his heart
his deserted heart

she is empty
inside her heart
nobody
to fill her heart
no room
to share in her heart
her vacant heart

he is lonely
inside his heart
no love
caresses his heart
no bed of roses
occupies his heart
his depressed heart
