Joseph P. DiMino Poet Prose Poetry

Trifling With Love

I recall our early life together:
we were primitive little savages
when it came to matters of Heart – 
needy and wanting, demanding and
all insatiable – the envy of older, far
wiser~ those drained Sophisticates,
reduced to salivating voyeurs. 
                  And though life has
yearly ripened us, you are still
my Honey Pot...and I your dangling
Plum of Sugar. 
                              Finely tuned hearts
are really priceless, and ageless.
And love was meant to be trifled with,
when realized to be fearless, thoroughly
explored, elastic~ sensing tender Eternity
shared....

Valsa George February 8, 2023 at 8:15 PM You were never 'toying' with love earlier or now.... but 'drinking it to the lees'. True love undergoes no changes. ..... "though life has yearly ripened us, you are still my Honey Pot...and I your dangling Plum of Sugar. " What more is needed in a love relationship! Excellent.... ! Joseph P. DiMino February 9, 2023 at 5:43 AM A comment with air of true youthful, creative spirit. I think we were put here, allowed to experience -- to ultimately learn, burn away the old for new chemical spiritual construction! Life is a reflection of spirit, what we have achieved and where we have failed as individuals and a humanity. I strive now, to forgive all...including self...and to move on, independent of guilt, having found greater love as inspiration and guide. Blessings my friend. Thank you.

Evelyn Judy Buehler February 8, 2023 at 7:43 PM Very romantic, and springtime fresh and lovely. :) Joseph P. DiMino February 9, 2023 at 5:47 AM Christ said, something to the effect "Luke warm, and I will spit you out" -- no one is condemned for wanting more (we learn what is right to better goodness for all) -- all are condemned for settling for less: that which is expedient and, therefore, a soul compromise. We do not live to get along...but live to resurrect the love of God in one another, sometimes painful reconstruction.

Speaks Volumes February 8, 2023 at 2:17 PM WoW this took my breath away Joe. Such splendor and emotion, such amazing memories, such wonderful "now" A delight to read. Joseph P. DiMino February 9, 2023 at 5:55 AM They are not all pleasant, lots I wish I could take back and cannot. I have forgiven everyone...and pray, at least some have forgiven me. Blessings my friend.
