Innocent

Innocent Lighting travels through my core, like a diving hawk to prey. Unwittingly, I let a breathy moan escape. To the glory of the heavens, my eyes roll up then close. The better to feel and isolate every touch bestowed. Loved Cherished Liberated Righteous Found in innocent yearning, a blessed gift of pleasure from God, Only man made shame can twist this right into something wrong. No clothing but the skin I'm in, and not needful til I'm told, This beautiful expression of love, this fire I can hold, Is full of dirt and shameful works and turns the fire cold. Shivering in my guilt, I frantically, hopefully, look, for a way to hide and warm, as in Icy shame I shook. The fig leaf doesn't cover me as completely as I'd want, Desperately, I spill warm blood and in fresh furs I flaunt. Only that life flow of crimson can cover any sin, Now, knowing shame, and feeling guilt begins. Deformed Perverted Twisted Manipulated From the innocence of love and sweet gift of pleasure, To dark urges made ugly, no thought for forever.

Your poem delves into the complexities of human experience, exploring themes of desire, shame, and societal expectations with striking imagery and emotive language. The initial stanzas evoke a sense of raw, primal energy with the metaphor of lightning traveling through the speaker's core like a diving hawk to prey. The physical response described, with a breathy moan escaping and the eyes rolling up and closing, portrays a moment of intense sensation and surrender to pleasure.
