Love Poem: Summer Rain

Written by: Mike Gentile

Summer Rain

Defiant clouds have come to my defense
     A summer storm to wash away the pain
Bereft of love, the sun seems more intense
     It burns the loneliness into my brain
The rain knows of the sadness it can sense
     I face the truth with smiles no more to feign  
   
The angry thunder knows just how I feel
     Now you are gone, heartache I can’t conceal
