Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

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 December 3, 2023 at 2:25 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. Joseph P. DiMino December 3, 2023 at 2:55 PM Hi Hilda; thank you. I agree, hearts are also my favorites. Have a great day. Blessings!

Mystic Rose Rose December 3, 2023 at 3:51 AM Ah, you make me want to play cards Joe, a nice game of Scoppa :) Joseph P. DiMino December 3, 2023 at 5:14 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 --

Mystic Rose Rose December 3, 2023 at 3:51 AM you gave me an idea for a poem lol, you always inspire me, I will call it " Love is the force " Joseph P. DiMino December 3, 2023 at 5:16 AM Absolutely! The greatest, most charming, and at times funniest force:) Love it!

Paula Goldsmith December 2, 2023 at 6:41 AM A creative write. Everyone needs love. It all starts with, hello... Have a great weekend................. Joseph P. DiMino December 2, 2023 at 10:18 AM Thank you so much, Paula; have a great weekend!

Silent One December 2, 2023 at 6:20 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.... Joseph P. DiMino December 2, 2023 at 10:19 AM I believe that can be true! Love is a wonderful mystery. Thank you, Si.

Vijay Pandit December 2, 2023 at 5:49 AM Words from the heart my friend--the mystery of divine grasp – adhesive nature of caring touch, giving as much as it receives--love has the force--ageless, timeless, as you say, Joe. Joseph P. DiMino December 2, 2023 at 10:23 AM Ain't that the truth -- one can never entirely predict as to where, when or with whom...a wonderful mystery. Thank you, Vijay. Blessings.
