Archer Stands Ready (Tanka)

Archer stands ready

Arrow nocked, bow fully drawn

He’s poised for the kill

Huddled I stay out of sight

For fear I’m Cupid’s target

Coo Of Morning Dove (Haiku)

Coo of morning dove
Announces entrance of dawn
Gecko’s welcome warmth

So Lovely Are You

So lovely are you,
A flower frozen in time,
Beauty eternal.
To my eyes forever young,
Though to others we grow old.
Age, is illusion,
Wasted for generations
On those bearing youth.
A shame and curse to be sure
For they are blinded by years.
One day they will know
What we begrudgingly learned,
That love knows no bounds.
It is beauty internal
That time cannot take away.

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Man’s Eyes Deceive Him (Tanka)

Man’s eyes deceive him
When under a woman’s spell
They say love is blind
Who would I be to argue
For I am truly bewitched

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Shine On Haloed Moon (Haiku)

Shine on haloed moon

Over nighttime sky thou art king

Thy subjects slumber

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Calendar Threshold

Calendar threshold

I crossed once again

Am I different

I feel as I did before

The same reflection

It is just a line

Drawn of thin air not of sand

A measure of man

That we’re told we must live by

I think that I shall rebel

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

Living Amongst Stars (Haiku)

Living amongst stars

Pulled by the sun and the moon

Child of Heaven

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

In The Angriest Sky

In the angriest sky

Peace doth prevail.

Her rains, the tenderest kiss

Baptizing this poor sinner.

Look not upon her in dismay,

For beyond her blackness is light.

A serenity beyond outward appearance

Offered to thee if thine eyes you will open.

All is not as bleak as thou believest,

Thy turmoil is but momentary,

Soon to depart if thou wilt allow,

Affording ingress to a brighter day.

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

You’re Running Away

You’re running away
Trying to find your true self
But it eludes you
Self dear one is not a place
Because it lives inside you

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Aromatic–Bold (Haiku)

Aromatic-bold
Expresso necter of gods
Calls me to arise

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
