Lonnie Hicks Poems

The satin sheets allowed us to use for sails
the billowy white pillow cases
where on your hair splayed
as if blown there by the wind;
...

So if this kiss
I mean to kiss
happens and it
runs amiss
...

My love mesmerizes you;
its your intoxication.

I see your soul
...

It was not that I loved her
I loved that she loved me;
it was a guilty feeling;
something like a drug;
...

I can walk down
the up stair case;

I can make it rain up.
...

Chandeliers and Candelabras;
Twilight moonbeams
and Stealthy Kisses
are arrows in Love's Quiver
...

She said
'How will I know that I love him'
and she said 'you'll know at the time.'
...

The Sun does not set each day
it is obscured;
its red finger-lights,
its rushing sun beams
...

When we dance
I take your hand
and dizzy you round-
your eyes flash by-
...

'I've had my sip of tainted time, ' she said
'wasted hours of questions
asking if you love me
perched in some Pity Pub
...
