Chased By a Glare of Day

It seems
no matter the topic
Love's always 
periscopic

pushing its little pink
nose
into a heart

purring its way
onto the surface

like sunlight nudging
a tropical sea
on the morning rise

Be them truth
or be them
momentary lies

love is a garden 
of starry sighs

how we navigate 
our dark

feeling chased 
by a glare of day

Kim Rodrigues Date: 8/3/2023 7:32:00 AM Interesting poem, Joe! Love’s always periscopic. You throw a little angst in there with: Be them truth or be them momentary lies. …then, we wonder at the final two lines. We have to ponder our way through. Love it! Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 8/3/2023 7:43:00 AM Thank you, Kim; you made my day. We are often much harder on ourselves than God is. He knows well our fears of both dark and light. One often used merely as a camouflage, for the other seeming a glaring spot forcing us to squint. Blessings my friend.
