Dawn breaks black to blue
Stars fight the coming sunrise
A death match of sorts
Anxiety of night wanes
Relinquishing to the day

Musings of an Aspiring Author and Poet
Dawn breaks black to blue
Stars fight the coming sunrise
A death match of sorts
Anxiety of night wanes
Relinquishing to the day

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Frequently I drift
Into my minds dark corners
Deep…hidden away
Where others cannot find me
Here I shield my hopes and dreams
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Maybe I’m naive
Always looking for the good
Instead of the bad
Pessimism taints the soul
Leaving it to die hollow
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I sleep confident I’ve done my best,
Only to wake uncertain.
Insecure in myself,
Insecure in the craziness of this world,
The later feeds ravenously on the other;
Draining optimism as if water from a pond,
Leaving it dry, cracked — until it turns to dust.
Periodic lulls slowly renew my faith in man,
Spirits rise, the pond of optimism refills
Then in one spectacular moment it is gone,
Evaporating into the heavens,
By one stroke of ignorance or violence.
The reasons mystify;
Inexplicable to all but the perpetrators.
What’s to be gained?
Frivolous violence and hatred achieve nothing,
But to instill fear and hate in others otherwise uninclined.
This is not an accomplishment!
It is the perpetuation of discontent.

Your love calls my name
Soft and sweet like babies breath
All wrong dissipates
Euphoria takes over
Filled with the essence of you
