Stark,
Gawking,
Ingenuous,


me,


Gorgeous,
stupefying,
scintillating,


you,

there is that vast awning,
staring at me like unbridgeable yawning,


how do I cross over,
tell me,
please do,


or, would you please come over....

My sweet little Grace
                     loves wearing poka dotta lace
                      She is a sweet little genius
                        But also too ingenuous












For my sweet daughter, naughty, but caring and sensitive to other people's  pains and feelings...

Plying depravity from a string of unblemished guile,
Candor and virtues put on trial.
Mute complications hang the impassive jury,
Corrupt verdicts subjugate while the ingenuous worry.
Grasping for lone echos left by forgiveness and mercy,
Abolish authenticity with fallacy bred controversy....

incomprehensible
          enigmas in words
clever:
          incomplete
verbs,adjectives,
                        nouns
talking to thenselves in verse

Who reads?  Who listens?

imaginative
                  eclectic
elective
             ingenious
ingenuous
               incoherent
a confused ramble along
                        a detour
without a compass or map...

RUSSIAN ROULETTE

Let’s amuse ourselves
playing a novel
diversion
a contested match
relatively brave
perversion

Rules are a painless
tranquil and soothing
excursion
two weapons of fun
comic tragedy
immersion

Loading of handguns
all blanks except one
insertion
metal to the head
trigger finger tight
explosion


Ingenuous
Oblivion
In
Legitimate
Version

Here alone I sit
 Wondering what it's all about
 Taking every little bit
 Trying to sort it out

 The world once was born
 Under some ingenuous being
 None of us are slightly torn
 We do without seeing

 When grabbing some time
 We have tried to break the seal
 Without one sensible rhyme
 it wraps us in its chill

 We hold life by strings
 That knot together without cause
 it constantly pulls with wings
 Doing so without pause...

O, Basilisk keeping across the unsinkable surface of water,
desperately fleeing the terrible hunger of monstrously ravenous mouths,
supported by ripples of light,
as adrenaline, faith and delight appear to allow the impossible task of traversing the river of night, as the bluegills below the remarkable sight of a lizard escaping a death of forsaken repose effervesce with a watery awe,

is an ingenuous talent as yours unremittingly earned?

We all are born naive at birth
Ingenuous for what it’s worth.
The cure is in the things we learn
From childhood to adult that’s earned.
Yet some of us of age remain
A child, a lamb their both the same 
The naiveté are most beguiled
By those of us so versatile
Among the rank and file we lurk
And prey on you with clever words.
Word to the wise from one who knows
Be careful of the ones who pose
To be your special pal or friend
One might deceive you in the end....

It's so fragile, stately and tall...
standing alone in the middle
of the dry sand so brittle;
a puff of wind can make it fall!

The whiff of rain
is carried by the vagrant clouds,
build it, boy with quick hands;
it's already sundown! 

It's the ingenuous creation
of the smallest castle;
what a perfect imitation...
giving it an image too humble!  

Ah, know before hand
anything built on sand
will soon end up into the roaring sea:
waves are cruel, they accept no plea!...

An expedition began years ago,
Devoid of a significant Destination,
Christened LIFE.

Making headway, 
Encircled by plenteous acquaintances,
“EXPERIENCE” is the upshot.

Progressing ahead,
Corollary of capability,
Precise judgmental ability
Is the effect of “Experience”

Cautious progression,
In profession and personality;
Sensible Relationships,
Overlooking the covetous,
Dedicated and ingenuous,
Undoubtedly a boulevard to “SUCCESS”

Is this really what we call “LIFE”?...
