To feel young again
My aches and my pains vanquished
Tireless child
They say it’s a state of mind
My body says otherwise

Falling, falling down
Landing back to mother earth
Children home to roost

Tumultuous Times
Tumultuous times
Born of man’s own flawed design
Corrupt purity
Look at what we’ve created
Hatred, violence, killing
Pollution, disease
All in our quest for power
Leading to what end
We are murdering each other
We are killing our planet

What Is It You See (Senryu)
What is it you see
Trapped behind my pale blue eyes
Spark of God in flesh?

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
