Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Love Is

Some say that Love's 
imagination -- no medic
can plot and find; like 
science disproves a soul,

better ice cream in a solid bowl --   

some say love's a mere
occupation -- Bread and
Butter of the poet; the bard
and musician like snow-balls
scoop-up, compress and throw
it~

stick to the wall a vinyl or perhaps book;

my priest claims highest spiritual
veneration,  after earth relocation -- 
pass the plate, before it's too
late...cheaper now 
than after-hours' rate...

seems to preoccupy a world of real time 
and space...

that which man can only psychically 
place and trace --

Valsa George December 1, 2024 at 7:11 PM Unlike the conventional definitions and notions of love, you have attempted to define it in a unique way. Its breadth and depth no other person can measure except the one who is ruled by it as science can't find or feel the soul. Yet the world is preoccupied with the emotion of love. Its depth can be measured not by ordinary yardsticks, but only psychically. You are absolutely right, dear Joe. The poem is so catchy. Joseph P. DiMino December 2, 2024 at 7:45 AM Sort of, which came first, the thought or the egg? -- more thoughtful, can one be without the other? Would one survive with loss of the other? Often the sad truth of couples who deeply love.

Ink Empress November 30, 2024 at 5:11 AM Dear joe, what a deep and profound take on love, i think we find love in so many ways in so many places but sometimes some forget to see and appreciate little gestures of affection and care that shows and proves that love is around. The flow and depth of what youv conveyed here really is soulfully moving i especially loved the endin and “ Bread and Butter of the poet; the bard and musician like snow-balls” those words really are catchy! Pleasure reading this today. Sending you light always Joseph P. DiMino November 30, 2024 at 5:28 AM Hi IE; thank you for such a lovely and greater enlightening comment. The way I see it, Love is never wrong -- if not appreciated, received magnanimously by the one it is offered to...the giver is yet left with a better sense of worth holistically, for having given with a pure selfless heart as well as all other emotional feelings attached.

Victor Buhagiar November 30, 2024 at 2:17 AM Love is an electrical and emotional emotion. Check that you're compatible, though. Joseph P. DiMino November 30, 2024 at 5:30 AM Hi Victor; one may not be compatible with an individual...but one is always compatible with love. You can't lose.
