Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Devour

          I'm a parched desert
           that longed for you
                 desperately
   while you were away for miles;
     now suddenly here you are!
    you've returned to me, at last.
    your smile and skin glistening 
           before my sore eyes.
                   hosanna!
          you're the cloudburst
   to heal the drought within me 
      and I'm more than thirsty!
     my true, I needn't fall down 
               on my knees
                   and beg 
          to devour you whole, 
                to engulf you 
           like a hungry abyss!
