Summer Nights Poem by Casey Gochnour

Warm summer wind blowing trees left and right,
Sun shining so bright, or warm moonlit night.
Forever living on, forever disappearing,
Always returning, no end ever nearing.

Oh how the heat burns like my love for you,
Showing the world in all we say and do.
Our love glows under the moon and it’s light,
With voices and bodies together on warm summer night.

Wind blowing gently, the lovely summer breeze,
Pulling at our blankets with it’s daring tease.
How your beauty replicates that of the moon,
How the sun seems to rise way too soon…

But in the night, it all seems still,
We cuddle together on top of our hill.
Kissing tenderly as the heat from our love grows,
Legs intertwined to help warm our toes.

Do you remember those nights? The cold ones, too,
Where sometimes we didn’t know if we’d make it through?
Holding each other close, sharing pillows and cold feet,
You’d listen to my heart and fall asleep to it’s beat.

Oh those warm summer nights that I’d die to live again,
Such love shared through the sky those nights every now and then.
God, what a blessing, but we have so much more now,
And we always will, for this I vow.

Baby, please, summer will be back, remember our love remains,
Burning bright like the hot sun deep in my veins.
Running through my body like a man running track,
Knowing all too well there’s no going back.

Here I lie in these blankets covered in grass,
Your flesh like silk and face like glass.
And although I know these times are a part of our past,
Those warm summer nights, like our love will always last.
