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!
