Smiling After Lost Love (Poems from my teens and early twenties)

Smiling After Lost Love (Poems from my teens and early twenties) is a collection of mostly love poems. Most of these poems were written by Brian dot Khoza between the years 1998 and 2004 by hand and handed to individual love interests or girlfriends at different times. 

Over the years rough copies were found and they were creative and numerous enough to compile into a collection of about 50 poems and the number kept growing.

The purpose of this collection is to show how intensely a man can feel, and how he can be hurt, recover and try again and again. It does not offer solutions or ways to conquer pain in love but it merely shows that one can smile again after being sad because of lost love. The hope is that one or two elements that leads to abuse in relationships can be eliminated- the fear that love will never find one again or that there is no future after lost love.
