Lonnie Hicks Poems

Come closer;

I need to feel
your body
...

If I could take the world
into my world;
If I could be God-like
what would I do
...

Dreamers dream
dreaming that
all their dreams are dreams;
and is reality then multiple-shaped
...

'I am the Winter Flower'
she said
'the opposite of the Summer Ones.'
...

Where does the river flow
if not to you?

How deep its depths
...

I feel like a train sometimes
that can't get no locomotin.'

My wheels lumber
...

Strewn on the ground
were the nouns;
the gerunds
and the active verbs,
...

If I can but see
those reaching arms before me,

feel flat against my chest
...

We are trapped
Beauty Eyed
in beholder's
gaze,
...

In the Rotations
of the Universe
periodically,
...
