Innocence on a Disc
A child was selling his innocence,
As many growing adults do,
On a disc which had probably
Been built for some lewd exchanges.
I stood and heard the auction pounced
At, like some passing serendipity.
I stood and did not name a price
As I knew not how one values it.
All I knew was I could not give
What it would take to buy Innocence.
I stood and I watched as someone
Bought it for a few greenish notes,
Thereafter to be displayed on
A shelf; to ask bored friends over
Cold cocktails and deeply fried prawns
"Guess what I bought in the auction?"

Hey Parth, from where do u come up with these poems of yours...varied style, varied theme...really nice, but i really wonder when u think up all such beautiful thoughts...i suppose u totally tend to keep them to urself otherwise...?

decent..but maybe expected better from u..warm yrself up fr the war of the poets!!he he
Nice. But somehow I feel the poem would have been much more suggestive if you had not used the word pornography explicitly anywhere.
-Nikunj.
seemed like universal opinion - changes incorporated, thanks nabeela and nikunj!
far from your best - BigBro
much awaited poem finally arrives!
Really nice...
I just wonder if these thoughts are really embedded into you or its limited only superficially to poetry
