Edward Ibeh Poet Free verse

No Greater Feeling

There's no greater feeling
For a man to be 
Deeply,
Spiritually,
Wholeheartedly 
Loved and cherished 
By a good woman 
That comes home 
To him 
The nearness of her 
Comforting.
The love in her eyes,
Penetrating.
The sound of her voice,
Reassuring.
Her nurturing hands 
On his skin,
Soothing. 
The softness of her kiss
Upon his lips and brow, 
Sublime.
Her radiant light
On his spirit,
Transformative.
When a woman
Genuinely loves a man,
Like mine loves me,
He couldn't be more in luck,
For she's but a needle
In a haystack.
