Sthembiso jean culio Cele Poems

My love is nothing like the rest
Words alone are not enough to express what this heart of mine discerns
Every time I’m in her presence my compassion is for ever at ease
And for every time we part; her affection braces my heart
...

Tick tock tick tock
Boo boom boo boom
Can you feel my heart beating?
Can you hear the clock ticking?
...

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
...

You speak of man as though he were an imp
Ay! Contend I do not
For man has long betrayed woman’s heart
And I am no exception
...

Brimming are my eyes with hopeless longing
Where have she lost?
For my heart is now fogging
This soul of mine needs her; I need her, at any cost
...

Tossing and turning, in desperate need of slumber,
I feel her taunting lust haunting me,
Alert, her poisonous poise goes astray,
And I but remain in prolonged envy,
...

Life is like a spiral
A mystery wrapped in enigma
Infinite nights
Definitive days
...

When distance divides us

Depriving me of your sensual presence
...

You walk in beauty,

And beauty in you abounds
...

Love,

You have none to give
...
