Edward Ibeh Poet Ode

Notes About The Poem

Ode To My Better Half

How I knew one fine day
                 that you were the one?
          I searched inside myself, asking...

                "Is this indeed true love? 
         Do I feel the magic of her charms?"
           Is her embrace as soft as velvet?" 

                        I asked myself

      "Do I feel vulnerable with her? Do I feel...            
    the squeeze of her hand whenever I hold it?  
         Is she but God's greatest gift to me?"

        You are, my dearest. Your first touch 
          was a slice of heaven; a telling sign 
            you captured a piece of my soul.. 

                          I wondered...

    "Does she reignite my smothered passions?
       Does she give me a shoulder to lead on?
          Am I lifted up when I fall like timber?"

                         I asked myself

               "Does she break me free when 
               I find myself caught in the jaws 
                 of life's booby-trap? Does she
             show me the way out of dead ends?" 

                 The answer to every question
            was yes, my lovely Helen; that's how
                 I knew you were my soulmate, 
                     the answer to my prayers
