Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Modesty

Modesty is no virtue
when it comes to love.

Love should be worn
brightly~ daily! Nightly!

Shouted loudly! – Boldly!

Let love's many voices 
Sound~ Rebounding heart-felt
joyful echos – 

Sing love's lovely delight!

Shake the earth with 
together vibration; let the
universe hear love's clear
clamor – let fly amorous
moon-beams – let stars' starry 
eyes open wide to the sweet
dear call of comforting nestle – 
let love be the body's spiritual
vessel

All depends on love's, dreamy,
gleam-y, creamy honey flow –

the child, needing love if
healthily, affectionately to grow – 

the blossom needing love if
to dazzle, wink, make flowery show – 

love must be freed, if love
to charmingly glow...if a heart
to ever another heart intimately
know –

Valsa George January 31, 2023 at 9:33 PM Wow, I feel the depth, power and potency of the love you carry in your heart ! It waits to flow breaking all boundaries! Love should flow freely with no inhibitions . Any one will be swept off the feet in the current of your love. Like a torrent, let it flow. Into my FAVE. Joseph P. DiMino February 1, 2023 at 5:42 AM Hi Valsa; thank you. This is the most charming and wonderful comment I have ever read. In the true spirit of the poem! Love may not fly at the supermarket, may not buy a new car or pay the rent...but it will give one immortality and a chance at eternal joy. The only token accepted at the gates of Heaven.

Peter Rees January 30, 2023 at 12:56 AM Great words. Yes, sing it out, but what of unrequited love ? Equally all-consuming, but with a proverbial sting in the tail. Joseph P. DiMino January 30, 2023 at 1:39 AM Hi Peter; thank you. For sure, unrequited love can be very painful. Heartbreaking. Don't think one can protect one's self from such sting, for the alternative is, not to feel such depth at all.... Or mildly feel -- do not think that works well for poetics in particular.

Kim Rodrigues January 28, 2023 at 1:27 PM Wonderful way to convey love…don’t hold back! Joseph P. DiMino January 28, 2023 at 7:57 PM Hi Kim; thank you. Have a great weekend!

Mystic Rose Rose January 28, 2023 at 1:16 PM Love should always be bold and never undersold, love this Joe, :) Joseph P. DiMino January 28, 2023 at 8:05 PM I love love. Always singing around the house, a typical Italian. Love songs, certo! Love opera, Rodolfo and Mimi! Always wishing she would live for once, and they would then hit the lottery and get a glorious mansion, overlooking the sea.

Speaks Volumes January 27, 2023 at 12:13 PM Totally agree with this beautiful poem Joe. True, pure, undeniable love knows no shame. Its splendid and amazing and should be worn like a bright, shiny, gold badge for all to see. The pride of having love that's true is priceless and should be displayed as an example of what can be. Loved your poem. Joseph P. DiMino January 27, 2023 at 1:37 PM Hi Wen: that's two of us!:) I'd like to think more out there. Blessings my friend!
