Innocence

A touch of the hand

A brush of the lips

A defining story

Of a heart's eclipse

 

An innocent heart

Untouched by pain

Not yet broken, shattered 

Or full of shame

 

Only if it knew

The horrors ahead

Blind by first love

No tears have yet shed

 

But for now let it be

Let it shine bright

On two innocent hearts

Let loves wings take flight

Innocence is fascinating.
We look at it from all sorts of
different perspectives, hardly ever
from that of an innocent.
The poem is a delight, I`m sure the
writer is a delight as well.

Wow. this is so touching and powerful, and really rings true. I like that you were able to make it rhyme without it coming off to tacky...if you know what I mean. Great work!
