Love Poem: On a Summer's Night

Written by: Gershon Wolf

On a Summer's Night

Her voice was like a whippoorwill's 
   Her beauty made a man's heart swell
They warned him to stay far away
   On married men she liked to prey

He saw her on a summer's night
   Strolling in the pale moonlight
He called to her, she held his hand
   Knees weak, he could barely stand...

His passion spent, he headed home
   His faithful wife knew not he'd roamed
His lover's tryst had not been seen
   She'd never know where he had been

Yet he'd never love her as before
   ~ Sure, all's not fair in love and war
