Paradise Lost--Jaded Haikus

A shared paradise--
thought unattainable, but
once had been embraced.

Hugged close to our chests,
like the fragile infant it
was, nurtured and safe.

We rejoiced in the
lilting symphony of its
ever-laughing gaze.

But not forever.
Instead a sunset meets our
glance with deep dismay.

Gold glow is fading--
innocence lost, unruly
teens caught in a maze.

Our paradise lost,
as anger plunders what was
once our treasured place.
