Lonnie Hicks Poems

There
just so,
just beyond
the shadow.
...

They came to her to tell her that she was dead-
passed away in her sleep.

But, ' she retorted, this must be a dream

and cannot be so-
...

It was the eternal summer of her soul
which mesmorized me-
a shiny shimmering-
which glowed in the day time
...

When no one is looking
I count the steps
in front of my house
no reason apparent.
...

Nothing happens in this world
until somebody falls in love
with somebody;
dating, marriages
...

The last kiss lay in the road
dusty and memory-filled
and I on my endless trek
paused more out of respect
...

I am some days
my Best Me
others
I've been submerged
...

If time has elasticity
then stretch it across my love's heart
in the dead of night
make it stop as we try
...

I could reach out to you
but hesitancy grips-
freezes things
and I grow anger about that
...

There was no hint that he
would take my hand
and there plant a kiss.
...
