Reckless in my youth
Only to regret later
Part of growing up

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Ageless and timeless my love art thee,
Perfection alive in human form.
Til the day my last breath I do finally breathe,
I vow to protect thee storm.
This promise I made to thee so long ago,
To this day I have ne’er forgotten.
Before God in Heaven on knee I did show,
Thanks for the path I’ve long trodden.
Honor me now to be thine til the end,
I ask with a heart that is true.
My feelings for thee shalt not break nor will bend,
Til death when we bid fond adieu.
Know that each day I cherish this gift, spent with my hand in your hand.
I take not for granted on retribution swift, my love to an island you strand.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A higher standard
Sacrificed to man’s mistakes
We are all human
When too much to live up to
It guarantees our failure

Crescent moon through clouds
Once shrouded in mystery
Lost to ancient times

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Shaken from a dream
Reality seems blurred
Which of them is real

Chaos corrals me
Only to cut me loose with a fury
Nothing makes sense anymore
Frying my feeble brain
Useless is it to resist
Steely is her grip
Instead I submit
Only to plunge deeper into the darkness
Never to return
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Streaks across the sky
An unnatural beauty
Contrails mosaic
.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Serenading me
Songbirds in the cottonwoods
A lovely alarm
To wake to nature’s music
Just as Heaven intended

Works satisfaction
Goodness for the human soul
Man’s accomplishment
