Lonnie Hicks Poems

'You say it's true? he said lining up his words slowly
as soldiers in rank, his mouth intoning
each word which came rolling out with incipient bitterness,
and amazed regret;
...

For her heart was pounding such
I thought it would leap from her chest
and fall flat onto the cold floor
to slide there to quivering extinction.
...

Mind spoke:

I have been the Driver of all history
for animal and man,
...

We humans evolved 100,000 years ago
from just 4 amino acids
forming our DNA
but note the Shark has been here 100 million years.
...

I saw you across the room
and my heart stopped.

You noticed
...

I day dream most times
day and night
and come back to
This Reality
...

Complete
is this moment's
hush
let's not stir or move
...

I will not be able to write
without
you;
...

Oh, voice mail.
Ok, I just wanted you to know
that when you come over
be ready
...

I lie on the bed
still tingling
from that love which penetrates
trying to decide if it is satisfaction
...
