Rainbows and Innocence...Disillusions Shattered
You are here: Edit Red >> Uploads >> Poetry >> Rainbows and Innocence...Disillusions Shattered
Somewhere over the rainbow…
What a wishful song.
It reminds you of all the wistful fantasies
Of childhood
Of the adult wish
To return to innocence.
When were we truly innocent, anyway?
We came in this world a clean slate
And were rudely awakened by a firm smack on the bottom
Is that what we are to expect from life?
A kick in the ass
A reality check
When all we want is a reassuring hand,
A comforting glance,
A warm embrace?

VEry good read.You have a poet's soul and think differently. I happened to meet your poems which have attracted me, but now I have to go offline to work. I will read them again. Best wishes.
