Songs of Innocence and…
Wandering and reckless,
Patterns missing,
A sign of insolence,
Crept into,
Chilling spine,
Icing exuberance.
Looking at the sky,
I had a premonition,
Dark and thunderous,
Clouds would burst,
Raining fire and wrath.
Around soft petals
Thorns prominent,
Dark was the humour,
The little girl
A bundle of curves,
Smiles weird,
Avarice and greed
Reigned emotion,
Sentiments meandering,
A bird misnomer,
Flirtatious colours,
Reigned supreme.
The wound deep,
Cut into soil,
Mad and furious,
The soul's logic,
Forwarded innocence,
To death's chamber
Left there, never regained,
Dry leaves,
Arid sky,
Artful lies,
Deceit and masks
Rule the heart.
End of seasons,
And the knell,
Signalling it is no more,
And never again,
Shaken innocence,
Death of a child,
Guileless rectitude,
And innocence.
