To ALL those 
who think 
their thinking 
will understand 
life and love, 
war and peace, 
hate and forgiveness, 
good and evil, 
hell and heaven...

To the intellectuals 
who loudly declare  
hope an illusion, 
belief delusion,
religion refuge 
for fools, and 
science to be 
the only true...

My heart says
You too are anguished for me
An illusion
Presumptuous day dreaming
Of my ever naïve heart...

  Such an irresistible naïve gesture

              those sparkling

Entering a new phase of life full of standing ovation
can be disrupted by the polarized effect of growth.
Innocence is pressed by social hypocrisy
to expose a young heart to adult conspiracies.
It’s tough to be in between the balance of morality and biology;
prematurity may be a reasonable...

Today, oh man today
What about it....
Oh nothing, it was the only way I could think to kick this off
My head's been roaming all over space
I've been partying in the clouds
and my spacious thoughts
as if they were my best friends I were just trying to get...

From the start her ears itch of his proud words of how strong
seeks for opportunities to prove he can stay long
all that matters is to put
friendship suffering a loot
yet all she wants is his heart to sing a lovely song....

Oh watch now, the naive girls
walking in evening dreams
and stand in dust pools, dry and rocky.
Tell me, my love, how do they stand so perfectly straight,
among the talks of good and evil, among the talks of you and me?
Look at their posture, and how they...

naivety in reign
my nascent science of love
how I got duped into love’s vitamin mail order business.
so naive!
Just thought she was true
truly an angel,
with wings to fly me around,
and lift me to higher places,
but just a little later,
subdued and dejected,
it dawns on me in retort,
indeed, a...

I am quite the courteous gentleman
Not the kind who sends naughty lines;
Still, this pretty girl was winking, was I naïve?
Being a new guy in the neighborhood,
I waved; trying to be polite like Mom said I should.

It began with her offer, coffee in the main room
Ending...

Dear, Naive Mistress,

Open your eyes.
You’ve been used...again!
He doesn’t answer his phone –
Sister, yeah, right.  NOT!!!  
It was his wife.
He can’t take you home.
He has another life.
He’ll never ask you to move in 
Or play with your kids.
He is married!  
And already has...

Oh, Youth—naïve days lost,
Just learning life
In baseball cleats,
With soccer balls,
Days school bells rang
And girls, girls, girls:
Light lilting laughs,
Smooth budding curves
In sweaters tight,
Lean stockinged legs,
And perfumed air
Enshrouding each …

Oh, Youth—long, restless nights
When life knocked hard—
Those turned-down dates,
My anxious heart,
A stolen glimpse,
Small hand in mine
And, then, that...

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...

Pure, a virgin
Smelling of light,
Softest light,
Playing on shadows,
Hovering on the pines,
Inspiring, stirring,
Hoping…

Life mellows,
As the sun softens
The heart, the soul
Lays dazzled,
Frazzled,
On the edge of insanity,
Boasting of hurts,
In shadows…

Pure, a virtuous thought,
Sentiments of light,
Poured out on the truth,
Light, portrayal
Of faith, blended with grace,
Memories fading…

Life ages,
The heart, the...
