Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Oasis

Oasis
     in a desert 
        that's what 
           you are to me. 
               A refreshing calm 
                   in chaos. 
                  You soothe
                my spirit. 
              You are 
            my shelter 
         from the storm. 
             You are but raindrops 
                in unforgivable 
                     drought;
                          my bright shining star.


                  (Yalto)
