Each second-hand tick
A chance for reinvention
The past is the past

Close Your Tired Eyes
Close your tired eyes
Quiet your exhausted mind
A surprise awaits
He has been there all along
Since the very day of birth
Too busy to see
He sat back and simply watched
Waiting for the time
Now in your silence he speaks
Hello my child…I Am God

Utopian Dreams (Tanka)
Utopian dreams
These are but an illusion
In the minds of man
Introspection is the way
Your ideal life is waiting

Rough waters recede
Leaving stillness in its wake
Ebb and flow of life

I Am But A Ghost (Tanka)
You reach out for me
My vessel–something to hold
But it’s illusion
You cannot touch who I am
For it is not this body
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Closed Eyes, I Breathe Deep
Closed eyes, I breathe deep
Exhaling luscious silence
Emptying my mind
Stress of the day fades away
I’m left relaxed and at peace
Is this not heaven
This place buried deep within
That no one can steal
Even this succinct moment
Can resurrect from the gloom
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Cynicism (Acrostic)
Could I be my own worst enemy,
Yearning for perfection in this world and knowing it can never be?
Nothing can satisfy me as I watch the cruelty of man,
Inflicting pain and suffering on each other,
Crimes–inexcusable by any of God’s sacred texts.
Irreverent and blasphemous fools are these
Scandalous in their deep seated hatred
Maring the kindness and love of the doctrines they so staunchly claim to defend.

Fortified By Walls
Fortified by walls
Convention dictates our roles
We are blind robots
Afraid to step out of the norm
For fear of ridicule
So who wrote these rules
Some wizard behind curtains
Calling all the shots
Break the mold–just live and love
Regardless of your gender
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
It’s All I Can Do
It’s all I can do
To focus on this mortal life.
I know there is more,
That time is an invention,
Something man can comprehend.
To Realized Ones
Past, present, future are now.
This I desire,
Though it seems so far away.
I long to spend time seeking,
Looking deep inside
To find that unified place
Where God and I become one.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Blame Me If You Must
Blame me if you must
Truth will wait a bit longer
‘Til you are ready
Think about what you’ve done
And what’s right will speak to you
Regardless, I’m here
Supporting without judgement
Because I love you
