I lay down my heart for you <br />useless, beat-less <br />it will be <br />if you do not come back to me. <br /> <br />My eyes too <br />I'll place in my treasure box <br />I have no need to see <br />another, <br />ever. <br /> <br />No need now for locomotion <br />I lie stlll <br />having no destination <br />if that destination <br />does not include <br />you. <br /> <br />My brain succumbs <br />to hiatus; <br />no need for new thoughts; <br />the last and only one I need <br />is of you. <br /> <br />My beauty rose <br />withers <br />when placed beside your photograph. <br /> <br />I see sun-beams in my room <br />but notice only the dust motes <br />not the beams' beauty. <br /> <br />Auditorily <br />I hear only the silence <br />of Deepest Need. <br /> <br />I am lost, <br />to be saved <br />only by a miracle; <br />your voice close <br />to my ear: <br />saying <br />'I am here <br />you were having a dream.'<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreaming-need/
