Love Need Never Hurry

You hold my hand
aware of capacity
for bonding

hands can do that
fingers fond conduits
palms firm suctions
of secure presence

hands yielding
while they also solidify
the mystery of divine
grasp – adhesive nature
of caring touch, giving
while receiving
taking possession with
tender balance of freedom

Love need never hurry

ageless and timeless
the Royal Flush of Hearts

Hilda Greenhough Date: 12/3/2023 2:25:00 PM This was a heart filling poem. I liked the last line of the royal flush of hearts. A royal flush of spades beats it but the hearts are more important.

Mystic Rose Rose Date: 12/3/2023 3:51:00 AM Ah, you make me want to play cards Joe, a nice game of Scoppa :) Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 12/3/2023 5:14:00 AM Ah, yes! I would play that game, Scopa, with my old Sicilian grandfather, in a lower East-side apartment in New York -- I was just a little boy. It was great fun. Another game was, Sette e mezzo --

Silent One Date: 12/2/2023 6:20:00 AM Interesting analogy at the end... you are right about love.. it has no restriction on age.. They say it starts with a kiss and someone sang about you can tell in a kiss if they love you.... Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 12/2/2023 10:19:00 AM I believe that can be true! Love is a wonderful mystery. Thank you, Si.
