Lonnie Hicks - A Box of Hearts

2014-11-10 5 Dailymotion

You have my heart in a silver box <br /> <br />wrapped in a sly smile <br /> <br />and you creep in my corner eye <br /> <br />stealthily. <br /> <br />You make no effort to acknowledge this <br /> <br />or even to open it <br /> <br />to take a peek <br /> <br />at what was given you long ago <br /> <br />by mistake. <br /> <br />The key is hidden in some secret place <br /> <br />and I search for it <br /> <br />even while unsure if my goal is to soothe <br /> <br />or retrieve; <br /> <br />yet I cannot be content; keyless. <br /> <br />I approach you at times <br /> <br />search your eyes <br /> <br />silently asking <br /> <br />where is my <br /> <br />missing soul? <br /> <br />You smile <br /> <br />that beautiful smile <br /> <br />flip your hair the way you do <br /> <br />engorged as you are with <br /> <br />numerous hearts in that silver box. <br /> <br />In the bad time nights <br /> <br />I wonder if you'd be soulless <br /> <br />without that silver box <br /> <br />like a collector with no quivering specimens. <br /> <br />I think probably; <br /> <br />and that helps me sleep <br /> <br />vowing relentlessly to seek <br /> <br />that hidden key <br /> <br />you have nonchalantly <br /> <br />swallowed <br /> <br />preventing me <br /> <br />from moving on <br /> <br />or to stay and get what I need.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-box-of-hearts/
