Simple but powerful. Good use of simile. My only critiques are: I think this would be more powerful as a metaphor rather than a simile - just take out the word "like" in the first line so that it reads "Love is a mighty phoenix" instead of "love is like a mighty phoenix"; also, "blossoming" is kind of a weird word to use since a phoenix is a bird, not a flower. So I would also change that.
But otherwise, good job! It's difficult to write a poem that is just short and to the point while still being poetic, but you did it.

P.S. "Love" seems like too simple a title for this, however. Given the metaphor you use, I was thinking something along the lines of "The Phoenix and the Flame," if you're open to that.
I agree, the title is too unoriginal for such a unique piece. If you're going to use 'Love' as your title, don't include it in you poem. Like this: Love is like a mighty phoenix. It blossoms till fully grown, the 'blossom' doesn't flow well with the bird images you're sending to the reader then is burnt to ashes. spruce up this line and make it more unique and less common place Only to be re-born, to die once again.... instead of 'die' use works like perish, etc.
First of all, I do agree with the previous reviewers that 'Love' seems to be such a boring, non-colourful title for such a powerful piece of poetry you have there. I'd suggest that you to change the title into something more deep and meaningful. Something that represents the poem you have better.
Next, I'd like to say that you have a very creative and original simile for love. I really liked it. I thought that the simile fitted very well. So that was really good.
I also liked the sheer shortness and the simplicity of the poem. So, even though it could be elaborated a little bit more, I think its really simple and sweet the way it is. Well done for that.
Overall, I don't think I have any major critique on this poem, seeing as the poem is pretty short and not only is it short, its really powerful and is well... very good. Well done for the poem. Keep writing!
