I gave you my soul
Naked and vulnerable
What was I thinking?
All I wanted was your love
And you crushed me to pieces.
~
Love is what’s sacred
Yet you treat it like folly
And who’s is the victim,
Me…the one you claim to love
The object of your hatred.
~
Maybe I’m the fool
Gullible, the stupid one
Believing in love
Like Shakespeare’s starstruck lovers
And I’m Romeo

Calm before the storm
Old saying with much value
World on the verge
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Bridges not of steel
But built of trust and respect
Demolished by words
All that we say and do has
Consequences long after
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Structures age with time
Flesh and blood or stone and wood
It does not matter
All things will turn to dust
Whether we like it or not
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~
Giving from the heart
Reaping rewards, enriching my soul
All for the benefit of others
This is what I strive to fulfill
Even though I am fatally flawed
Finally I realize my purpose
Understanding what it means to love
Lest I become what I most despise
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Our lives ebb and flow
Between pain and pure pleasure
The wonders of life
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
False security
Fanaticism disguised
In propaganda
Confirming the masses fears
They so skillfully crafted
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Buzzing in my ears
Smell of flowers surrounds me
Humble bumble bee
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Muddled thoughts and sour mood,
So unlike for me to brood.
.
What and why I do not know,
Whilst I wait for it to go.
.
Twist of fate or slight of hand,
Either one would sure be grand.
.
To cheer me up and make me smile
Releasing me from this cursed trial.
.
But alas today it seems to be
Another day without much glee.
.
Clouds of pitch and torrential rains
Dampen my spirit and fog my brain.
.
Sure I know this too shall pass
For gloom this dark cannot last.
.
Until then most sullen I’ll be,
Awaiting the key that sets me free.

Honor among thieves
Missing from our politics
The lies keep coming
