What decides innocence?

Fluttering of eyes or calm gaze
Rapturous laughter or enigmatic smile
Clear face or clear mind
Beautiful features or graceful gestures
Carefree attitude or careless mischief
Boisterous talk or placid temper
Ignorance of knowledge or humble display of skill
Negligence in understanding or understanding of negligence
Move in diffidence or act of pretence
Thoughtless response or shy reaction
Obeying commands or unable to demand
Misjudging characters or expressing concerns loudly
Refusal to face situations or unsuccessful in attempts
Full moon’s glow on the face or Candid brightness
Abiding truth or non-exposure of falsehoods
Display of emotions or content within
Loud express of love or quiet admiration of love
……..
……..
It can go on and on

Or maybe

Candid eyes that speak the truth
Beautiful smile that reflects the heart
Simple words that talk of mind
True concern for others shows the grooming
Lovely gestures give a soothing feeling
Love of nil expectations ensure the purity
Tears for others’ welfare hallmark the personality

If we look through the eyes of the world
What could be true love for one
Might be the play for the other
What could be innocence for one
Might be the ignorance for the other

Flashes

Baby’s toothless laughter with a crackling sound
Mother’s affectionate embrace of her sleeping child
Bird’s feeding on the mouth of its offspring
Eyes of the lovers in trance
Pregnant lady’s care for her baby
Old man’s blessings when he is revered by youngsters
Toddler’s walk holding father’s hand
Woman’s cooking trials for the beloved
A warm hug of doting friends
Poems dedicated to loved ones
Fond recollection of memories looking at the name
Tears of lost love in seclusion
And many more………..

When such flashes of love are seen
In the eyes, minds and hearts
I wish such love stays forever
But they are only flashes
Like lightning
And not a sun of any sort
