Blushed Naivety

Her lips still blushed a youthful favor

     amidst burnished summer's spirit,

scintillating 'tween impetuous kisses

 whilst naiveté blooms gullible bosoms,

embraced afore a chill nature 

  withering budding wildflowers

    taking precedence o'er accorded doctrines  

          farthermost harmonious freewill

Very engaging poem, Paloma. I agree w/PD on the prose. And you do love to do a little poetic parry w/passion and pragmatism dueling one another. Touche. Very expressive poetry, that unfurls the mind. Love your work as always. Live long and prosper. Much love to you and yours. RW

Hi Paloma, an excellent piece of poetry once again. I often look back into my late spring and summer of my life. Love seemed to change as each season came to my life. Now is my favourite period. The autumn of my years shall come soon and love sings. Your words sing onto the canvas of my mind, my own memories stir, Another gem Paloma. You let your thoughts come forth with some wonderful content. This is a definite seven. Hugs....Mike. XX

Lovely...a delight to read; the title is absolutely perfect. You manage to take this reader back in time when love was young and innocent, little realizing then that roses have thorns, too! Regards // paul

I'm thrilled it took you there Paul. Ah, yes those nasty thorns, we learn soon enough, don't we? Many thanks!

There is a hint of sadness in this wonderful piece. Oh to be young again and experience all that love has to offer before the years pass and the flowers wilt in the heart. This is amazing Paloma.
