How Single Can A Person Become Poem by Gert Strydom

How Single Can A Person Become



How single can a person become
when love dies
and how without any cause
can things become,
when nothing matters anymore.

It is as if unhappiness
eats at every thing,
like a spreading cancer
and life is even rid
of all its pleasures.

When a deadly winter
slowly stalks everything
And your life is frozen.

When a deadly winter slowly stalks everything And your life is frozen. Getup with the new fire in your veins, a single failure in love is not the end of life.

Indeed dear friend you have pointed out the most crucial thing in life, yes it is love.............when you fail to love, let it be the love at teens when your hormones are at peak, or just when you love the plants and pets and passerbys or little children or randomly anybody you come across, , , , , , , , , , , , then you are just a waste, a dry stupid idiotic thing with nothing, all drab and dried up...............True.........love has thousand forms and the beauty lies in its prevailing warmth.........Its ability to give us the urge to live breathing the beauty of existence.
