Poem: "The House Of Innocence"

Remember the innocence
Like a house in which we used to live
We moved because we wanted to be big

The times of making whistles in the long grass
Digging our toes into wet sand
Playing cowboys and army
Ballerinas and horses

Definite security in our own imagination
What we thought was real,was real
And what we wanted to be would be

The castles in the sky
True loves kiss to wake the dead
Little boys fake machine guns noise
Lived to scare the girls away

Now we long to step onto that threshold
And to fit ourselves under the door
To play with our plastic kitchen play set
And only pretend about real blood and real war

To shout "I'm bulletproof,I'm invincible"
And really believe it once more
To hold hands with pure,friendly feelings
To blush at a kiss on the cheek
To giggle and laugh unencumbered
To run and not become weak
To believe in love again
To believe anything again

O, to be young
O, to sit on daddy's lap
To be eager to learn and ask silly questions
When "I'm sorry" and a hug meant forgive and forget

There's not a point in our lives
We won't forget
The house in which we used to live
The house of innocence
