Khumbo Kathumba Poet Concrete

In my only of onlys

In my only of onlys,
You are my one and only.
When everyone vanishes 
In my moment of trouble, 
When the trouble I troubled,
Comes back troubling me,
My soul gets back in the only of onlys.
Not knowing that you were present
All this while, when I was lonely.
Isolated zero rated,
Secluded in the mind of the world,
Not included,
Alive but living in the land of the dead,
All onlys in my only of onlys,
Are nowhere near 
But only you, the shining only.
I hear you calling in the heart of darkness 
Struck with muteness.
The thunder of my heart echos through my ears,
My blind eyes can now visualise life around. 
I realise I'm alive.
My one and only has arrived.
All this while this while, the door to the only of my onlys was open 
Didn't realise that the only of onlys, 
Was the only one watching and taking care of me.
In my only of onlys you will always be my one and only.
