Old heads know more,
but can't explore anymore.
Justly, they exploit experience,
adroitly squishing creativity.
Too old to play,
with naivety....

Ha! the naivety of man, 
In death seeks afterlife 
In life avoids death at all cost!

We all are curious,
Others call it
Naivety. I am
Disturbed by the
Equivocal interpretations
Rationalized with ignorance.
Faith, a leap to
Understand out beliefs.
Lies, truth, the unknown....

individual
      introspection
     in
  intimate
emotions,
flows with
    bias,
     naivety
     to the fore
striving
for
perfection
lost
in
the matter-of-fact
and
the
tedium
of daily detail...

As fleeting
As the heart that's beating
Is a thought of what may never be

Constantly caught up in a perfect reverie
The path is seemingly blocked by naivety
Hoping to overcome these issues

Running out of tissues
I miss you...

Serenity blew in with an autumn wind.
A fire starter who knew not that she sinned.
Her inferno took out the forest all night.
Fire that destroyed every tree limb in sight.
Serenity left without knowing it was her.
Her conscious clean and her naivety pure....

His mindfulness led me
Through a labyrinthine maze
Rambling sinuous thoughts
Planted in thorny tangles
A wandering elegance
Baffling in its simplicity
Mazelike in its meanderings
A wise and twisting serpent
Entangled in the complexities
Of its naivety...

Young love looses its flavor when left to its own devices
Half forgotten on a shelf it ripens, molds, and decays.
Sweet, sunlight dancing memories that pull tears from regretful eyes
Soon turn bitter—
Suave boys exchange tuxedos for clown noses
And earnest naivety is revealed....

when the book of bedtime stories
kissed goodnight and turned the page
and was left to stand upon the shelf
to fox and spot with age

the bright sun lost the hat it wore 
and its face that always smiled
with those outstretched lines of beams that shone
inside of every child....

Our lives changed forever
His filthy ways obscene
Come back to visit
She's
different to me

Naivety is key
I Took the
chance moved away
the child 
he took from me 

Ever feel So Helpless 
you felt 
you had to say
it's
all right
you've done your sin
NOW....let us fly away...

sheep hid behind a hay bale, sipping her wine.
fragrant and sweet, it tasted totally fine.
Others thought she was knitting up her wool.
She rolled her eyes at the naivety she felt in their soul.
threw her knitting needles down on the bare ground.
Pretty soon was snoring away, her dreams bright and sound....

Lost in a labyrinth of
Glistening sights
Infinitely out of reach,
Trembling amidst sweeping mistrals, 
Fabricating a life of nostalgic allusions,
Caught in lapsed reveries, of 
Restless arias and faint rustlings
Sequestering my rampant aura,
Bleeding in russet naivety, 
Evaporating in silent elegies....

Perfection is an illusive pastime,
an unending quest that hides delusion
in uncharted diversions on life's path;
Distractions litter obsession's by-pass,
obstacles spring up unannounced,by chance,
opportunity deflates in despair;
Again,again the siren's call beckons
innocent naivety to regard-
mediocrity nervously breaks down....

I light
this flame, during
winters of my mind.

I etch your
fingertips into my own.
This is naivety, or
tight-lipped behavior, like
sparks consuming coal.

I long for you,
like embers and chimney tops,
or chimneys and skies.

If I lit the clouds,
with this flame,
would it pour,
enough to bring 
summer in my heart?...

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 ...

The suburban youth,
got the money,
got the time,
bored and don't know,
how to spend the dime.
Naivety,
Don't know safe in the womb of the One,
How will they learn?
When they roll the dice,
in the inner city streets,
Playing a game,
where the eyes of the children have no souls.
For them,
taking a life, 
as easy as shooting a three....

Unsuspecting and unafraid
Bless your naivety!
Dashing from out your home in the woods
Just to sit by me.

You cannot know what I am;
The race I represent.
Has not badger told you, warned you?
Rock-ledged bobcat, down-bent!

Or are there some among us
I, one such fortunate
Spilling or not, nibblings like secrets
Innate wildness placate?...

Life can bring rain, it can bring storms but it can also spring beautiful rainbows
after one.
Innocence and naivety can play inside of one as the umbrella against responsibility for a while.
The strong wind of the perplexity of the games prevents the looking  back 
at the breadcrumbs of the miles of the journey.
