Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Costume of Lies

What one deeply thinks, feels
is published to the Universe;
the mind, a viewing screen...
and heart, it's amplifier – the
current, that of a soul longing,
seeking its path of return;

the outer-world, a distorted
reflection of our spirit-nature;

the Inner-divine, our only
truth of conscious being...yet, 
we continue to don a sleeping 
Costume of Lies –

Lisa Ricci March 26, 2022 at 10:04 AM Hello Joe - This is one of those entries that must be read out loud with emphasis and feeling to place the message out into the universe. Be proud of this entry. Thank you for sharing your poetic talent. Enjoy the weekend and poetrysoup as well. Joseph P. DiMino March 27, 2022 at 12:07 PM Thank you, Lisa; you have made my day. Blessings!

Anil Deo March 25, 2022 at 9:02 AM The middle stanza ought to be daily meditation ( even in schools everywhere). Shalom shalom & thanX Father DeMino. Are u 80? Joseph P. DiMino March 25, 2022 at 11:24 AM "Narcissus" Ovid was ahead of his time. Thank you, Anil; blessings my friend!

Andrea Dietrich March 23, 2022 at 3:41 PM wow is this one for the Matrix contest by chance? It kind of puts me in my mind of that type of thing, so much of fakeness and not being true to oneself. Joseph P. DiMino March 24, 2022 at 5:37 AM I'm not familiar with that contest. I will look. Thank you, Andrea; to be truthful is an ongoing quest~ I consider myself part of the mix of seekers. No worse nor better than most.

Silent One March 23, 2022 at 12:46 PM Interesting philosophical poetry.. You always make me think and are so wise.... the thing with the costume of lies is that some of us know it is lies, but some do not and some are so much more creative with their lies than others.. Joseph P. DiMino March 23, 2022 at 1:52 PM :))Ain't that the truth! Our creativity is one of the reasons why we persist with our lies, enamored of our own power, displacing truth. Thank you, Si; your encouragement means a lot to me. Blessings!

James Marshall Goff March 23, 2022 at 10:32 AM Joe... really describes so well the unspoken inner voice that does daily battle with our decisions...poetry such as this fine write is the reason...poetry is held in such high regard .. Joseph P. DiMino March 23, 2022 at 1:53 PM James, you made my day! Blessings my friend!!
