Simple little things,
words,
yet so effective
when strung together
into a poem
breathing romance,
fading loneliness,
all within the lines
in pastel strokes
and joined together
in just the right way.
A writer’s thoughts,
whether fact or fiction,
become another’s hopes
and words find their way
to a reader’s heart
as surely as petals
dropped in a forest
mark the way back home.
I love you’s bloom
only to fade
by truths revealed
in yet more words.
Can we fall in love
through poetry?
I believe we can,
and it all happens
through the naiveté
of words.
I think the words that have meaning can touch the same feelings inside the heart. Love comes from with in us, not from outside another. Good thoughts here. Lady J
Such splendor in the poems you pen; such splendor in the way you string your words together; such splendor in the message brought by the naivete of the words you chose! Another excellent sharing, CJ...as always! Enjoyed this piece!
Words aren't only a form of communication, words can link us with other souls, more we communicate...less warring.
Naive words can never be offensive.
Very well expressed.

It is amazing how words are so effective, but they are. I really liked this poem, because it made me think, what would we feel if there were no words? When joined together properly, words can bring us to some amazing revelations, but, also can lead to serious misunderstandings. Wonderful poem, CJ.
The unique thing about poetry, IMHO, is poetry betrays the true character of the poet. The more prolific the poet, the more he/she has to say about themselves. Bits and pieces conglomerate to make a whole and the poet cannot but reveal the self. Hence, poetry can bloom a romance and it can also fallow the ground on which it grows. And yes, it is all accomplished with those words, so simple but dynamic and telling. A very astute(that's my big word for today)poem CJ
I must agree with you whole heartedly on this one, I have read poems of a romantic nature written by others who I know stirred my heart enough that yes I wanted to reach out to them and hold them in my arms if it were possible. You have captured the romance and magic of what a great poem can do to touch a spark from writer to reader....
Well done.
I believe it....CJ
when you write something truthful
it originates within the heart,
not as if one was orating lies
which may not have started as such.
peace be with you
I love the idea of this write! my favorite verse is..."a writer’s thoughts
whether fact or fiction
become another’s hopes" So much more we write about than love and romance--love the write-
Can we fall in love through poetry? Ab-so-lute-ly. I have, with your words ... beautiful pen.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Excellent thought-provoking write CJ, words can do so many things, and the same words can take on different meanings for different people. Well done.
Hugs, Laura
Love is universal and not limited to the most perfect among us. In this collection of romantic short stories and poetry, love comes to those who are decidedly imperfect, who possess very real human flaws, scars, and challenges. Awaiting us as we are.

Many times the simplicity bears the wise contents, and all the sofisticated means... "The Naivete of Words" glows in contents and poetization.
I salute You, Poet.
