Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

A Goodbye Wink

...and then she slowly
            turns her head
             one last time, 
         several paces away;
                  smiling 
        under the midday sun
               as the wind 
             chaotically stirs 
              her long hair.
              She flashes
            a goodbye wink
         for me to hold on to.
          A magical moment!
      My heart hasn't stopped
           dancing since then!
