A Stone Heart No More Poem by Sthembiso jean culio Cele

Listen to this heart beating
Hear its voices, its cries for love
Its blood boiling and heating
Its wings spread out like those of a dove
Whom have I loved?
If any one
For I am never moved
Even though I once adored one

She is no more, gone with the winds of change
Darkness! Yet the sun sets and moon rises
Oh! The world is full of surprises
They gaze upon my anguish
But still I furnish

Today is never tomorrow
Even in times of sorrow
Oh! My heart so hollow
Listen to this heart beating
Its blood boiling bubbling and backing
A stone heart in the making
One day king of your heart will i be
Sitting on my throne
No more alone, for I will be home
Stars will fall from above
For I will find my love
