'Where 'she said <br />'does love live? ' <br /> <br />Is it in your eyes? <br />I have looked there; <br /> <br />I look there every day. <br /> <br />Is it in your heart? <br /> <br />I know it beats <br />but some days <br />it is so faint; <br /> <br />In your mind? <br /> <br />That is opaque. <br /> <br />Tell me where does your love for me live? <br /> <br />I said <br />'I am taught <br />that deeds and providing <br />are where my love shows; <br /> <br />in being sure everyone here is safe <br />and that there is enough <br />for what everyone wants or needs. <br /> <br />I am not good at flowery words; <br />at affection even. <br /> <br />I wish I were better. <br />for you. <br />What about you? <br /> <br />Where does your love for me live? ' <br /> <br />She said <br />'It is everywhere with me <br />in my heart, it pounds you know still <br />for you. <br />In the house. <br />I place my love in flower vases <br />in the vacuum cleaner; <br />in dinner <br />in the wine served. <br />In my thoughts and emotions. <br /> <br />I remember everything <br />we've ever done. <br /> <br />He said: <br />I wish I had that ability you have. <br /> <br />I think I am made for the hunt. <br /> <br />But now <br />there is no hunt.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hunting-4/
