Long Loss of innocence Poems

THE INNER CHAMBER

Like a child standing at the neighborhood ice cream truck, arm outstretched, eyes huge, mouth watering.

I stand here longing to slip underneath your decades of cold-rolled steel...

A horrible crime

It was a loss of innocence

I didn't have a choice

Nobody heard my voice

Faded memories of the night

Some thing's wrong I cant even fight.

I thought I was going to die,

so heavily drugged I couldn't...

Sometimes, I wonder if you’re really there with me (are you there?)
You live life without a single care, my dear
At times, I struggle with a failure mentality (somewhere out there)
While you live your life without...

SOLDIER OF BATTLES..    Steve Hudson

It started, in silence, in infancy; the eyes look beyond the darkness
To understand the sounds of rage, echoes of misunderstanding,
The beginnings of normalcy wrought with disturbance,
Bereavement for the...

My fury and outrage remain unabated , it seethes like magma
and spreads itself throughout my being , it is barely contained
I shield it to keep the damage within , so it does not consume me

Hibiscus rays of light
herald the sun's stretch from slumber
in a bloom of ravishing red passion- 
Oh! how I despise dawn's blushing optimism
and lust for life!
for I am too young to cry
but too old not to

Songs of passe' drifting 
From a distant somewhere out
They breathe into me 
As a longing that wants to be, aught

And I begin by grasping at traces 
Of a sadness in loss of innocence
Naivety was its...

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...

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...

In Memoriam of brave, lost souls during the First World War

Our insides churn, nostrils flare, with the pungent stench,
Order given to leave our sanctuary and trench.
Battle cry, whistle blown and up and over we go;
Standing...

Forgotten memories of childhood resurrect,
Layers of colorful events get, together, decked.
Adamant screaming continues till I got them,
They burst, oft, midway though each seemed a precious gem...!

Did I know, then, the meaning of these chic child...

Standing tall and standing true
That was the child that was in you
Now all that you seem to do

Given half the chance

Is join on in the latest scream 
Not even sure of what it means
Just so...

It grieves me to witness our youth's demise,
Each day, each hour, another life unties.
Daughters, sons, announced dead, bereft,
In a world where cruelty has left.

What have we done to merit such woe,
To meet our end in...

Sitting by the firelights glow
Immersed in personal thought
Wandering down memory lane
Dwelling on life-lessons taught

Trying to accept things
That nobody can change
There will always be questions without answers
(That's strange)

If you ask a question
You are entitled to a...

Colors are disappearing like loss of innocence
Hearing the voices from outside like a baby in the cradle
Something is murmuring just like a specific sound
The sunlight is falling and making the body hot
No movement in the...

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...

Little boys walking around with Tech 9 in hand
Barely grown, yet men inside their heads
All because they've had no proper teaching
No love of a man
Little girls twerking, taking off her clothes
Loss of innocence in front...

Conceived and born in accordance with God's grand plan;
I'm thrust into a world that I don't understand,
and introduced to pain.

As a child, fantasy forged my reality;
and it left me feeling untethered and carefree,
communing with nature.

They watch from the shadows
Observing a world far darker
Etched in their very minds
Were memories of olden days
When fear was merely a story
And war merely a fantasy
Parents grieved over the loss of innocence
Many children faced daily
But...

Incipient of dusk, with heavy eyes shutting.
My spirit dies with each day of leisurely cutting.
Folding oneself in a featly state of reminiscence.
I recall when love meant a loss of innocence.
