Lonnie Hicks - A Pillow Keep

I laid down my eyes
having no need of them;

your sight
lives within.

I lay down my hands
for having held you
will forever suffice.

I need less air and oxygen
for your inhalation
that night
will my soul keep.

I have laid down
words and verbs,
gerunds
and verbal quests-
language fails
in our cathedral.

My lips
retreat having
received your
single kiss;
hyperbole
blushes
not tribute enough,
and all sits
best
inside my dream.

Because while
you and I have not met
we both know
no kiss is sweeter than
Kisses
of the Dream.

No hand warmer
than Loves' Hand
born in long longing long.

So you and I
linger here
in the day-time
and night-time
conjuring's-
we both
here last forever
at our singular best
sugar sweet inside our dreams.

Good night my Prince
whisper inside my pillow keep
for yet another night
of golden, gauzy dreams.

Lonnie Hicks
