Brothers (Acrostic)

Blood is thicker than water,

Remember the old saying,

Oftentimes we are guilty of forgetting.

The invisible ties that bind cannot be broken,

How hard we try, it matters not.

Eternity knows what only we can share,

Regardless of our differences, neither

Strife nor distance can break us apart.

Glimmer Of Morning (Haiku)

Glimmer of morning

Warming my cheek in slumber

Urging me to rise

Sunset Walks With Friends (Tanka)

Sunset walks with friends

Through familiar neighborhoods

The peace of friendship

Never needing to wear masks

To hide who we really are

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

We Live Life In Fear

We live life in fear

Afraid of the dark, of death

Of what comes after

Why, when we’ve done this before

Many, many times over

We’re born and reborn

Working on our mortal souls

Until we become as one

…With the Divine

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Fate (Senryu)

Fate–do you believe

Or is this just our free will

Guiding destiny

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Something Gnaws At Me

Something gnaws at me

Shredding the scars of my heart

Left to bleed again

Cleanly cut by razor blades

Love’s left to spill on the floor

Why pain in passion

So much that it breaks the heart

Contradictory

Is not love the greatest joy

As promised from up above

Perhaps I’m fickle

Believing that love is grand

Like in fairytales

If this turns out to be false

Then I am a born victim

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Drift Amongst The Stars (Haiku)

Drift amongst the stars

Each one a spark of heaven

In the form of man

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Magic (Tanka)

Magic lives daily

In every breath that I take

It is quite the show

No wand, no cape, no top hat

Required for an applause

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Stoic Attitude (Haiku)

Stoic attitude

Hides the depth of your feelings

Rose’s thorny bloom

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Wind Chimes Angelic (Haiku)

Wind chimes angelic

Music on the breath of God

Reminder to man
