Summer Nights
By gk thomas
A remembrance of things past, of a lost time that can never be found again
::::::::
I remember
when death
was only a dream
and there was no snow
lying on a beach
with some
warm soft
summer girl
and a star-filled sky
cigarettes and booze
a commercial-free
cassette
playing
something
soft and smooth
Tomorrow was another
place
out of town
there was no race
no bitter sounds
there was only peace and
soft lips
and thighs
and warm
summer nights
no loss
no fights
and all was quiet
within the warm
summer breeze
to lie upon.
But that was long ago
I still
hear the voices
the laughter
coming to me
down through time
on an ice-age breeze
but only a dream
and no way home
