Best Loss Of Innocence Poems

I remember…

Shimmering gold ribbons
Draped over the 
Glassy surface of the bay of Fundy
On a black see through
Summer night


I was new to love
Shy beneath your penetrating gaze
At a loss for words

And you…
Telling me my eyes spoke volumes
And the tears that welled up in them 
Against my...

Fragrant flower, Jasmine infused,

the evening breathes comic book laughter,

colors white and green and yellow.

Our heroes, our saviors in bold of

twilight blue and mud red ocher.

Perfume fingers stretch forth on evening breeze

searching for that champion 

only to find, beneath primary hues,

a miriad of diffuse pastel hides

beneath...

As I was walking late one night along a downtown street
I came upon a sad, sad sight that led to hope’s deplete.

The painted ladies paced the night in black stiletto heels,
and searched beneath the neon light for what the dark conceals.

Along the row of sleezy...

The Loss of Innocence

At a school sports day I was running 60 metres,
 I wanted so very much to win, could taste blood
didn´t quite make it but got a bronze medal,
 which I wore on my lapel with pride. 

When I joined the merchant navy...

Houses lost, friends go away…
Then others I’ve never known…
Some areas worse, some less…
But all have seen the scar…

Empty homes with vacant eyes…
The bank will own the loan…
Won’t let lose their precious prize…
Until they’ve made a score…

A few will pass thru many hands…
Most will wait with...

A duck slowly paddles across the still water,
Disturbing the reflection of brooding storm clouds
Above. The pond sits close to the top of the ridge;
Precisely round, there are no streams entering or
Leaving to explain its presence. Cold wind keens 
Through the mis-shapen trees nearby; the thin...

What should we do if we are ethically lazy?
A blind leads a blind; all are crazy. 
Our hearts shrank despite our wisdom. 
My soul slipped from love to schism.

Who are the enigmas in our own reflection?
A chilly heart prevents affection. 
Why is it so stark as Gothic inner...

So many years ago
My innocent eyes saw too much
Loss of innocence
With just one touch
Fleeing to shelters
Watching as my mom get's choked
Got older
Tired of being broke
No more straight A's
All I could see was money
Because I thought things would get better at home
Willing to do anything
Even bust...

Insidious knowledge
creeps under blanket ignorance,
wisdom comes of age.

I wake up screaming.
He's on top of me.
I'm naked and cold...
This is agony.
We were just getting high!
It was supposed to be fun!
Now I try to fight him off, 
so I can run.
His hand covers my mouth.
He's stronger than me.
Oh God, it hurts!
I can't breath and...

The impulsive and wandering butterfly
was tempted by the candle’s flare
that burnt her wings
when she got close
and sent her falling through the air

She laid scorched up on the floor
her fragile wings would work no more
Tears ran from her swimming eyes
because her little wings were fried. 

oh...

A happy childhood
the joy of discovery
shattered on the day 
she turned thirteen
when her father's
love for her changed
took on an ugly face

No longer innocent
No longer clean
The dark secret now
kept to herself
His words of love
no longer held
the ring of truth

Feelings of dread
at each day's end
Feeling anger
Feeling shame
Feeling...

Innocence was lost years ago
Not mine, but everyone around me
Some things changed
White turned to black
Friends turned to enemies
Wrong turned to right
And happiness turned to depression
Escape was nowhere in sight
But i needed more than anything to get out of here
Everyone around me was changing Yet I...

One day you said you would be leaving
You would go away like you always had planned
I was just a foolish bystander to not understand 
The pain of all silly games we played
I know I had you deep inside somewhere
Where we still played and would hide
I...
