innocence

I've always believed life was an abstract innocence

a morality lifted the mind above all conscience

I never needed to overstep that line

until I reached out for a glimpse of her face

this love is the purest simple feeling

which has painted lines across my lips like

pale black skies that roll on and on

to new days that dawn in the haze

Living like this has got me dreaming

but not in my sleep, just with every breath

I can taste the inside of all the air

and it all tastes sweet, the passing of feet

they tiptoe into the corridors

and mazes life has brought me, oh

they all seem so much more beautiful

these green leaves and the gentle breeze

that scath and torment me with kisses

almost as if their rosy hands

were there to caress my hair

Moments are years, fogged up rain

appears sometime, to hide these secret smiles

and disguise them with those average frowns

I see running away from the world

some of these days
