Summer Nights

Sonnet

The warmth of summer nights inside the mind

Lends soothing comfort, lifting humankind...

Replacing days of icy fingered hate

With gentle hands that rehabilitate.

No longer speaking words that so confined

That all who heard were left both deaf and blind

To any chance of learning or to find

Forgiveness for mistakes that isolate.

The warmth of summer nights inside the mind

Affords the opportunity to wind

The fragile strands of love that tightly bind

Our lonely souls together and create

A world in which our seasons celebrate.

Accepting without judging has defined

The warmth of summer nights inside the mind.

"Our lonely souls together and create
A world in which our seasons celebrate."

you wove together many ingeniously existential lines in this-
a very beautiful poem...

There are times I visit the older poetry of writers, where I discover beauty that needs to be rediscovered. Especially when I come across a gem such as this my friend.

I like this, there seems to be several examples of coldness and how negative it its and warmth, how wonderful and healing it is. This is fantastic, love it! :)

I love the gentle picture you unfold here. The imagery is easy to grasp and the lines unfold in progression with wonderful rhyme. Once again your poetry is superb.
