Shaded Tears Poem by Sthembiso jean culio Cele

He weeps,

He cries at the cessation of her love

In his happiness sadness resides

At night his soul screams

As hope fades, lost in his dreams

Reality remains

In daylight loneliness dwells,

Under poignant sounding bells

His future once tied to hers,

Will never be

His heart, a firm fist of anger

His eyes betraying nothing of his soul,

He cries for her, then for himself,

Because she will not
