Edward Ibeh Poet Monchielle Stanza

Notes About The Poem

Leave All Worries Behind

Leave all worries behind.
Repose in my caress
And gently close your eyes.
Be peaceful like a dove.
Sleep now, until sunrise.

Leave all worries behind
And come away with me -
Far from the maddening crowd -
To our private haven;
Our hearts be mighty proud.

Leave all worries behind.
Let's turn our backs on time.
Shangri-La awaits us;
So beautiful, so rich
It's worth a billion plus!

Leave all worries behind.
Let's roam with abandon
In the verdure of dreams
Where butterflies tarry
And float above the streams.
