Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Delirium

Oh, what sweet...
    d  e  l  i  r  i  u m!
        I'm left
            begging for more.

One gulp of you is...
    not enough.
        Darling,
            you can't be...

c  o  n  s  u  m  e  d
    in one bite.
        Heaven knows
            I'm so d  r  u  n  k on you

I don't know what to do
    with...
         myself anymore.

              (Yalto)

"Yalto" is a form invented by yours truly
