Naive little things, words, br yet so effective when strung together br breathing romance br and fading loneliness br br between the lines br with words in pastel strokes br joined in just the right way. br br A writer's thoughts br whether fact or fiction br become another's hopes, br and the words find their way br to a reader's heart as surely br as petals dropped in a forest br mark the way home again. br br I love you's bloom, only to fade br by truths revealed in even more words. br br Can we fall in love through poetry? br I believe we can, br through the pure naivete of words.br br C.J.
