Sweet, innocent petals
Soft and pure against my lips
Sweet, inticing scent drifts through the air
Soaring gently through the mist

Plucked from home, changed forever
Never innocent again
Tainted by my touch
Youth falls through your fingers like sand

I'm so sorry and heartbroken
I try to give it back, make it right
It's too late now my flower
Forever changed forever that night.

I'm not really sure how to reply to this poem.  It creates a very suggestive idea.  I hope thats not just me, and I'm not reading to much into it.  But it is very well written, and thus far, I must say it is my favorite from you.  I also must say thank you for all of your kind replies.  You'll never know how much they really do lift me up.

i must say i really do like this poem....when you lose something,no matter how bad you want it back,sometimes it just doesn't return....try to see the good in it..and then you'll relize it wasn't lost with no hope

I think I know what you did...hehehe...This truly is an excellent poem.  Visual depcitions and analogies were great.

No one read too much into this one. I actually did kinda write it about a flower, but also about a loss of innocence. I had picked a flower for it's smell earlier and my touch had caused the petals to wilt. It made me think of how a tiny little touch can change so much.... and I started writing. I actually typed it from the top of my head write onto here. That's why the rhythm could probably use some touch-ups. If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know, I'm open!
I just wanted to let you all know that you don't have a dirty mind, that was what it was suppose to make you think! Thank you for the wonderful compliments!!!!!!

Your poem is great, it does not need to be touched up. I enjoyed it just like that. It's an incredible tallent you have to be able to write poetry off the top of your head.
