All I Need

By Olufunke Kolapo

You need not stature
to rule my world
you need neither gold nor diamond
to dazzle me
you need no high status
to capture my heart
just a little of your time
when I need a listening ear
your loving arms to hold me
on dark cold nights
your eyes to remind me
that I only hold them captives
and a little space in your heart
to reside forever
all you need
all I ask
