Artlessness
I think I know how
you read literal intent
into opaque reflections
meant figuratively
agreed there’s no
room to set time by
untailored innuendo
in real expectations
naiveté comes at a price
defined by what it takes
to recreate an ancient
status quo of peace
whereas a breach
of etiquette conveys
hypothetical insensitivities
imagined free range
but in the making and
the breaking of unanimity
there is ample room
for daring compromise
eyes wet with blinding
tears disguise what wise
reflections won’t incline
and never can conceal

You have a way with words that makes me want to keep reading. I don't have the time to read everything that I want. Still, I'll keep trying. I like this one a lot.
