Summer Night

A cold summer night Everyone was asleep A familiar voice I know it was mom’s… A sweet lullaby Playing in my ears We walked in the dark As she calm my bare fears. The taste of her grief Fell in my cheeks I wondered why She wore a sad lip. She let me sleep In an empty box I felt the best touch A last goodbye kiss.

I came across a prestigious list of the top 100 most published poets here and I am not surprise. Your quality indeed goes hand in hand with your quantity. I'll check one or two more of your works because this has given me a unique satisfaction. I give you a handshake of a definite 7!
