Lonnie Hicks Poems

In the slippings of my mind-
the errant misses
the missing blisses-
gather together all the remisses
...

She said'
I want you sweeter than sugar
darker than night
and capable of making me
...

'We are no fragile poets, ' he said
sipping panaceas;
no,
we bleed in these bloody times.'
...

Belief and Faith come naked from the night
having no origins,
no obvious intents.
...

At ten I caught fireflies
in the Chicago night
cupping them in my hands
giving them to you
...

You gave me your heart
I folded it into my trophy memoirs
having not learned yet
that hearts yearn for summer
...

She was not the prettiest flower in the bouquet
but she had a perfumed heart

which shone through in a radiant smile and gentle nature;
...

I move with windows which haunt me
windows which reveal
your face at two or three
each day I rise
...

“Mumbo Jumbo is the most widely used language in the world.”

'The three kinds of knowledge explain 'Why' 'How' & the third is 'I don't have a clue so I make it up hoping you can't tell the difference.'
...

So there is no confusion let clarity clarify here
these words on this page are meant for you;
you.
