Edward Ibeh Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

I Luv U

                   Whenever the sun 
               Doesn't shine in my day,
       You somehow make it bright again
             When I look into your eyes.

                 When I see you smile,
         The light in your eyes and smile
              Makes me not miss the sun. 
        So divine, your all-consuming ember!

         The world is cold, as cold as ice
      When you're not near, and I crave you
        Just like drought does cloudburst.
            That's how much I love you.

                     If you ask me... 
             To hold up the twilight sky,
      I'd gladly hold all the stars in it, too,
                 Because...I love you.
