Thobani Makhunga Poet Free verse

The Space Only You Can Fill

-Take a peek at the gentle soul you created 
-you took away all the sorrow with your angelic smile
-stopped all my shaking with your small warm hands
-the warmth you gave me feels like a home I never knew I had
-I sure am a lucky guy

-I only want to kiss you
-I only want to touch you
-I only want to love you
-I only want to gaze upon you
-I only want to hold you 
-I only want to give you all my attention only you, just you and always you


-you’ve created a space in my heart that’s yours alone
-if you ever find yourself lost come and find me
-no one else could ever fill or reach your space in my heart
-my heart is yours and yours alone be proud of that
-no matter what happens, that space will always belong to you
