Virgin Poet (Free verse) by emilyowey

Untouched by hands of darkness Blind to the world of men Inside a shell of childhood Behind a cloud of white My eyes see only surface The beauty of myself I long to live among you Amidst the jaded minds Writing what is purely me Not spouting thoughts of old But therein lies the hardness Where there is ugliness Can I simply take a step And there begin to live Will birds still spin their magic Will air still taste so sweet Can love be any better Than childish joys I see Rip away my innocence Take now my faith and hope Cut me with reality Stain me with your knowledge Tear away my bridal gown See what I really am Steal away this soul of mine And leave me just like you

ignorance is bliss, emily, but do you want to be an Eloi? live. feel. endure. rise. the air will taste sweeter, the birds will enchant you, and the ocean will heave your sobs upon the senseless shores...you will harden; you will pulse; you will find new ways to love.
