Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Let The Heart Speak

Let the heart speak!

knowing its mind and own
place,

knowing its opulent space -- 

knowing our lies and truths,
the shallow or depth
of window-eyes, the soul that records
our breaks and ties...

the heart, a poet’s lexicon

our lyric!~ whether triumphs or sighs -- 

let the heart speak,

sorrow also at times 
     a welcomed source -- all poetry!
                  though not settling well
         to the poet, no ink
                          more 
                                  when
                                     dry his hell -- 
feelings his life
    and demise
            from God’s all
the poet prospers, fails yet tries

even in death, the prize

Romantically dies! --
