If anyone believes everything they hear they are very naive
but there are many things in this world people don’t believe.

Premium Member Falling on my delusions

The news provide harsh lessons.
I was so naive about politics & politicians.
It's not about creating a better world.
Where did I ever get that idea?

Naive

I gave you my all,
You threw it away.
My love for you was strong
But not enough for you to stay.
I believed your lies
Hoping they were truth.
Just rotten to the core
Like a cavity in my tooth.

Never Knew and Was Naive

Never Knew and Was Naïve

Never knew what happened and was naïve,
And even though we did grieve and grieve;
Got caught,
Crying a lot;
So sadly we had ended up having to leave.

Naive In a world where i'm told: "You're too innocent. You should change to protect yourself." Ask yourself again. Am I really the one that should be changing?

Premium Member How Naive Can JD Be

       JD Vance will certainly get skewered
       For he came off as naïve, untutored

          Boosted the military
          Promoted prosperity

       Such naivete can get him murdered

Premium Member Scribes, Conniving or Naive

Led by star,
Wise men came
to worship.

The Scribes connived;
or were they just
naive about
the secret plot

and very evil
intent of the King?
Oh, what irony!
He believed Scripture,
but used it to kill.

Naive Fantasy

Hollow eyes
Unheard screams
Fake smiles
Eternal liars
Stuck in a world called reality
When all I want to do is
Reside in my dreams
Where everything is as it should be
Perfect as it always is
In this world I like to Fake
Where there are no troubles
Just solutions…

N   ever believes people can be back stabbers
A   ppeals for honesty where none exists
I    nvites in without a background check
V   ulnerable when being openhearted   
E   xpects people to reciprocate in kind

That’s who I am…..

Naive Wisdom

Broken promises lie scattered at my feet
An aching fills my empty heart.
Hopes which once were firmly grasped,
Lies have ripped apart.

Unanswered questions invade my mind
Seeking answers never to find.
I close my eyes in anxious vain,
Never to trust again.

Naivete begets wisdom.

Naive Little Heart

What illness possesses you,
My naive little heart?
What is it you seek?

You know love is not easy,
And its only for the braveheart..
Yet you keep attempting it,
Over and over again..

Why do you make it hard?
Havent you learnt already..
Love is a rare luxury,
Which not all can avail..?

Naive Romance

So low gathered these puffy hues
Like unbuttoned coat of the king
Ready to astonish all 
Bashed the cheeks of mountains there
And the roofs of poor and rich 

Amid the downpour, a kid
Like a lonely star came out
To nurse his crazy fancies
And gossiping with splashes there
But his mother wailing hard

Candid

So tired she thought it best
to wear her heart on her sleeves
and get things off her chest

Ignored a notion preconceived
that living like an open book 
would only make her more naive

She said if they simply take another look
they'll see a clear transparency
and just maybe, let me off the hook

Premium Member Naive Faith

Some folks believe, "All things are true."
And darkness can alloy with light
Though sun arise, and skies shine blue
Some folks believe, "All things are true."
To Logos thence they bid adieu
Let now with good the bad unite
Some folks believe, "All things are true."
And darkness can alloy with light

Naive Spectator

Weeping and tears for the dead hero
It was when mother watched a film true
So big eyes when watched
Same one in next fussed 
Asked," How do the dead come to film foe?"

Premium Member Fair Warning

You eat what you are fed
whatever might pass for food.
You don't question it,
you choose to be complacent.

Behind the scenes
there's a monopoly,
a conspiracy to get rich
feeding you whatever
can enrich their greedy pockets.

Your health will pay the true price
of proactive due diligence.

Premium Member You Were My First

Listen to poem:
one after the other
all my mistakes i did with you
took life for granted
i was unseasoned and naïve

yes i should have known better
but i was young and foolish

it’s been a long time coming
i should have told you long ago
i have regrets and i’m sorry
can’t turn back the hands of time

Premium Member Innocence All Too Fleeting

Sunlight shrouded in stormy clouds
Innocence all too fleeting
Callow trust hardens bitter but wise
Sunlight shrouded in stormy clouds
Fools blinded by love don't see the lies
As we embrace life, naivete' dies
Sunlight shrouded in stormy clouds
Innocence all too fleeting

Premium Member Rufi In My Wine -Abridged Version-

I let an opportunist within my circle of trust

He slipped a rufi in my wine
I was too naïve to question 
my sudden lapse of memory

I tremble at what might have been

I was like putty in his hands
it happened so easily
I was so naïve

My destiny was in the hands of
someone who could not be trusted
my luck hanging on a string

Premium Member -So Naive

Who am l kidding
It means nothing at all
Just another pile of bullsh*t
Into l fall

Am l so gullible
Thinking the best
To be disappointed, disillusioned  
My heart put to the test

Toughen this soft heart
Stay away ,withdraw
Stop being naive
Nail shut my hearts door

Should l suspect the worst
Protect myself
Have no expectations 
Put my heart away on a shelf

Premium Member Naive Faith




Neither adequate experience nor knowledge 
Attention to detail is essential to faith
Individuality bows to the group
Vanity should be dismissed
Engage and embrace God

Futility is the fruit of deception
Authority must have its foundation
Intimacy with God is central and essential
Time must be given to the object of our faith
Holiness is the fruit of true faith in Christ
