I remember those candies and lollipops I licked

Spending nickel coins for ice cream and hotdogs on stick

Fairy tales told, the thoughts are fragments clinging in my mind

Echoing in a quiet, empty night, sending strange shivers inside.

Playful days circle, happy thoughts mingle.

The playgrounds stand like territorial markers

As my memory soars at the sun-dappled surface.

And never being tickled by the heat of the rays

But all of this vanishes in time.

Darkness pulls them away.

Blast of light strikes, suddenly empties everything

Gravity drags innocence away, the juvenile spirit

Now I’m falling, walking in a stairway of corpses.

Mistakes I’ve committed pound me down

Burnt soul, heart and dignity

Justice is stolen and blown chaotically

I wish to turn back time, bring back the naïve me.

A child, so innocent, playing on a farm of wheat

Free from the world’s sinful deeds.

Free from miseries, regrets.

… Innocence, All I possessed.
