Before and After Innocence

Paper, party child,
ribbon, curled hair,elegantly simple
pretty lace, traces of perfume,
scented sweetly, dancing rhythm,
swaying, kissing lips, moonlight
glowing, embracing romance
lost innocence of night

night of innocence,
lost romance, embracing,
glowing moonlight, lips
kissing, swaying rhythm,
dancing sweetly, scented
perfume, traces of lace,
pretty simple, elegantly hair curled 
ribbons, child, party paper


The inspiration phrase is also the title "Before and After Innocence"

The second paragraph (after innocence) are the words (before innocence) written in opposite order with comma's placed differently.
