Before Love Struck

When love was innocent 
you would kiss me 
and that kiss would provide sparks
that kiss would make my entire world stop 
and for that brief second you were my world
you were the crisp air i would breath

not now...

when love was innocent your touch 
your touch would inscription against my skin 
my body would shiver with great sensation
my eyes would flutter with pleasure

not now...

when our love was innocent we would go to the fair 
hands in locked together 
id be in my white top and baby blue jeans 
you with your pushed back hair and sunglasses
not a care in the world because we were together

not now...

when our love was innocent our kiss ment something
when our love was innocent your touch mattered
when i was innocent i wore white

now i wear black

The title you gave to this heart wound truly reveals the total nature and grief that love ruthlessly imparts in souls after the warmth of innocence pours down upon our senses with cold fate Abigail. "Your touch would inscription against my skin..." genuine, brilliant sensuality! The style of this poem carries great emotion and life tempo too! I must FAV. this painful passion Abigail...J.A.B.
