Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Time

Time is a fond melody, a dance

Time is a kiss, a romance~ a breath
shared held out to eternity

Time is a wish – a nurtured wait
never letting the desired answer
stray far from ones appealing heart

Clocks and seasons mean little to Time
sort of like, pies without their fillings

Time is experience, and not measuring -- 

Some live long, have few regrets~ and as
few victories – Time wasted.

Andrea Dietrich October 2, 2026 at 5:11 PM So true about time. No time at all in heaven. You made time nostalgic and sweet. I wrote of it differently last week!! Time is a big one for us poets to write about. Joseph P. DiMino October 3, 2026 at 3:37 AM I missed that one; just went back: "The Eyes of Time" -- Great insight, divinely inspired! Love it! Thank you, Andrea.
