Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

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

Vijay Pandit August 3, 2023 at 2:49 PM It seems no matter the topic--love has that power, my friend. It rules our lives and guides us. Joseph P. DiMino August 3, 2023 at 3:12 PM Love is paramount! Thank you, Vijay. Blessings.

Kim Rodrigues August 3, 2023 at 7:32 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! Joseph P. DiMino August 3, 2023 at 7:43 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.
