Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

No Guarantee

There is no guarantee
when it comes to the 
heart...

though love released with
sincere eternity – our carriers,
though Homers of loyal wings
transverse a sky of hawks

There is no guarantee
when it comes to matters
of interpersonal love – only God knows
man's truest beats – for the mortal heart
is an aggressor
while also retreats

Love, indeed!~ is a campaign of sorts

armies of feelings going forth

entrenchment on both sides

love often hides

while never a victory without
two fond surrenders

Speaks Volumes February 4, 2023 at 2:13 AM Ahh yes but when two surrender to love, magic happens, but it depends on the power of the magic, how long it will last. I visualise your armies of feelings marching forward Joe. Terrific poem. Joseph P. DiMino February 4, 2023 at 6:32 AM Hi Wen; thank you. I guess it comes down to passion and determination. One needs to work, often fight for love. I have the battle scars. Blessings my friend.

Victor Buhagiar February 3, 2023 at 9:01 AM No guarantee true, but life can be made easier if one gives and takes. Lovely poem Joseph P. DiMino February 3, 2023 at 9:07 AM For sure...never to forget, that giving is a form of surrender, letting go of something deemed precious and often guarded at all cost. And taking can be a form of surrender...pride admitting to need apart from greed. Thank you, Victor.
