Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Love Above All

And if all I had 
was a heart to give,
would that be enough?

and if all I had 
in that heart were love
would love be enough?

for what good 
is other wealth
of the world,
if the grave
pays no special 
homage to Sovereigns?

with only love
pledging forever – 

even sacred vow spoken
permitted in death do they 
part....

I would like to think
that, love – above all! – lives
long beyond its heart –

Valsa George January 19, 2023 at 5:02 AM Love is the panacea to all ills of the world. "Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant.". There is no good for any other wealth or assets which are all perishable. Your poem is perhaps one of the best extolment of love. Love it Joe... Joseph P. DiMino January 19, 2023 at 5:30 AM Thank you, Valsa; you get it. Blessings my friend.
