Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Valentine List

Of love's joy, and
fond mystery, too much
can never be said,

nor tenderly written
poetically read~ 

lavishly spread!

Let poet's all proclaim
in unison, another day
of oceans, teeming with 
chocolate hearts -- 

rose scent Everest' tall 

a mass of gems gifted
that would even dwarf
those guarded towers 
of the bejeweled royal! -- 

Throw kisses plenty, enough to melt and heat
a world of frigid Arctic seas.  Let all, who have
not yet, add their hopeful names
to Valentines tenderly evolving bliss-list -- 

Let even, us, well seasoned participants celebrate
again with the young on this blessed, sacred eve -- 

again my love

imprint our names, sealed
forever~ with True Love's, indelible kiss.
