Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Chips Of Love

Poets say that Love is everything

Artists give it much but just a start

Convinced hearts like paintings
Forever in progress I sense having
Dabbled also in studios of romantic 
Art -- 

A brush stoke here, a warmth 
Of color, unsigned for Love’s
Playful compositions when true 
Never entirely done – 

The poet writes, the artist shows
His voice charms, Her canvas glows

Everything lost, everything won
No greater wager than chips of love --

Kim Rodrigues April 15, 2026 at 3:48 AM God stretches love out for all eternity <3 Joseph P. DiMino April 15, 2026 at 10:38 AM Never finished, never-ending modes and means of expression. Why creative writing is inexhaustible.

Hilda Greenhough April 14, 2026 at 7:47 AM I enjoy your poem. The comparisons of love to sensual art brings a world of endless growth to emotion. Is it a picture never finished? Joseph P. DiMino April 14, 2026 at 5:39 PM HI Hilda; thank you. Have a beautiful day. Blessings.

Valsa George April 14, 2026 at 5:27 AM Poets and artists celebrate love through their writings and sketches. But no one can make a wager on the value of love. Profound ruminations on love. Joseph P. DiMino April 14, 2026 at 6:09 AM How true that is! Thank you, Valsa.

sara Etgen-Baker April 12, 2026 at 3:04 PM loved your ideas and perspective--a fun read. wishing you well Joseph P. DiMino April 12, 2026 at 5:27 PM Thank you love, Sara; along with everything else positive, love should be fun.

Silent One April 12, 2026 at 11:48 AM Apparently many a broken heart made a poet.... You describe it very well, especially the honeymoon period... love is such a different term these days, but still an emotion of control and chaos.....i hope poets keep writing and artist keep showing... great to read you my friend.. Joseph P. DiMino April 12, 2026 at 5:29 PM I don't think one can be a good artist/poet, without a strong love-sense. Thank you, Si.

Sara Kendrick April 12, 2026 at 4:50 AM I like this description of writers and painters, Joe. They both have quite interesting ideas or ideals about love. Love of the eros type can change but God's agape love is steady. We all need agape love in our lives from a very special person whom we can write about or paint. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Way to go. Sara K Joseph P. DiMino April 12, 2026 at 5:32 PM We need a physical muse, always able to count on in our corners when the chips are down. For the artist, love is our emotional oxygen.
