Innocence

You engaged me with sweet innocence 

Your softness spoken eloquently

With pearly eyes darting intelligently

Your mind working wildly beyond your years

I would like to pop the question

without rejection being a perversion

would you could you 

then again maybe not

early or late I have missed my slot

in doing right I am forgot

Quietly I remain dumbstruck listening intently 

FOR Speaking out of turn would incriminate me

In a world of discriminate who would side with me

should I mention what you mean to me

Even you may reprimand my untimely gestures

Perhaps you may see desire inappropriate

So I must suffer silently

As feral thoughts try hard to manifest

words in me lyrics out of me

exposing feelings of intensity

unfortunately you can not see 

how locked up I have been overtime doing time

Even when your kindness visits me

I cannot escape these bars

and free my expressions of appreciation

This energy resides overrides

with complexity

yet your accordance can open doors

and set me free

My strong affections are trapped

In this prison my days are long

My time is short

Like a butterfly caught in-house

As summer waste away

Oh for the taste of your sweet nectar

Before I wither crinkly

 and you View me with pity

remembering my youthful days

Still I persist with faith and hope

knowing I am not on your list 

when I lust I pray for charity

giving alms please show empathy

let not time be a barrier between us

make it standstill embrace me solidly

before the clock begins to countdown

and we are wound up 

not to be sprung agai
