Loss Of Innocence Poems - Poems about Loss Of Innocence

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 a violent flow? We've become beasts, monsters in disguise, Lost in our deeds, devoid of wise. Do we not possess a shred of...

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 strife?  while a few are weird and odd in daily life.   We're...

Cruelty danced 'cross his stencilled mustache Sparks of Evil flashed from his roving eye A wicked Sneer curled 'round his too-thin lips His fingers like claws bespoke a master spy Trench-coat pulled tight 'gainst the pounding rain Stealthy his gait down the dark narrow lane Alas! Two bullets lodged in his fiendish heart Real...

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.

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 balloon exclamations, our vain attempt to save us from ourselves. 04/22/18...

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 sound Is haunting, a threnody played by a distant piper....

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 hurt that he no longer loved her as a daughter not...

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 will Eventually falling over the edge of innocence Into adolescence As your...

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 I'm scared. He's hurting my butt, and pulling my hair. I bite his...

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 and when going ashore I wore it too; no one else...
