Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

A Divine Sleep

The further I traveled from 
me, the closer I came to you – 
found myself nearing with 
such found release...my heart swelling 
sweet generous nectar; sensing no loss,
but, in fact, more abundance
for sharing and receiving. It is the lesson of love, 
the ripening of heart's dearer agents through selfless caring – 
Indeed! Love is a nurturing school...of small little
chirps, purring, and needy cries; it is cold dark 
forced out by the graceful warming of heavenly
pairing: The rests minimal, and pianissimos 
ever brighter: Shakespeare was not so overly theatrical
about the world being a stage, nor Poe too
speculative, about all seeming a dream 
within a dream – for love is dreamy, magical
and mystically deep – The Universe shouting,
Encore!~More!~applauding endlessly such 
Divine Sleep....
