Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

My Heart's Window

the w   i   n   d   o   w
     of my heart stays 
          ajar.
     my permission 
you don't need. sneak in! 
     yes, darling,
          do so,
     anytime; 
enter 
     anyhow 
          you deem fit.
     after all, my heart 
is very much your home 
     it's...
          your sanctuary

   (yalto)
