Even if all my ellipses run linear <br />and lose their orbits <br />if my eyes turn dark and memoryless <br />I will vouchsafe no single regret <br />lying down among your photographs <br />sightless yes <br />but mine eyes then fill with love beams <br />which never desert; <br />they light my way back <br />to our parting. <br /> <br />I'll not avert time's countenance <br />that separates you and I <br />rather I will allow my senses <br />to reel in the past <br />to bring you <br />once again into my presence <br />where kisses will rain down <br />upon us <br />hearts will pound <br />strong enough <br />to make you real again. <br /> <br />They all say it is my fantasy; <br />its not, <br />in my mind <br />if you believe <br />because all love is <br />part desire <br />part fantasy <br />and you are mine. <br /> <br />I'll lay me down <br />to sleep this night <br />you tucked in my memories <br />they and my longings <br />neatly aligned.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/neatly-aligned/
