Beautiful liar

Using your looks to deceive

Deadly black widow

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Curiosity And Fear

Curiosity

And fear thrive in the darkness

Weighing on our minds

Which one will we succumb to

Depends on which path we take

 

But do tread lightly

For in darkness evil lives

Waiting to punish

Those that dare to taunt it

For their own entertainment

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Raving Madman

Neither ignorance

Nor arrogance are virtues

A raving madman

Still in the end he’s human

The Anti-Christ he is not

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Wisdom

Wasted on the young

I know because I was them once

Stubborn, invincible, I would live forever

Death seemed so far off

On the far side of halfway I want to share my lessons

Maybe this time someone will listen, then again why should this time be different

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

My Eyes Of Wonder

My eyes of wonder

Clouded and disillusioned

Empty promises

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Greatness Is Hidden

Greatness is hidden

Behind a curtain of fear

Vile and ugly

Truly…what is to be gained

For the lecherous many

~

A green light to hate

Harkening back to dark times

When race reigned supreme

Murder was freely sanctioned

With some holding little worth

~

We aren’t this people

Covered in blood and blackness

We are so much more

Look deeply into your soul

See the light that calls your name

~

This light is called love

And we are charged as shepherds

Tending to its flock

What’s best of America

Exists behind this veil

Division On Stage

Division on stage;

Peddling war and hatred

To the cheer of crowds.

Angry white folks rebelling

While wrapped in the flag.

Our face is changing…

Diversity’s taking hold

And cannot be stopped

No matter how hard you try.

Time has come to embrace it.

Fluttering Petals

Fluttering petals

Kissed by the gentlest wind

Graceful butterfly

Clouds Loom Thick And Black

Clouds loom thick and black

The horizon is obscured

Changes are coming

You can hear them in whispers

Blowing softly through the trees

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

An Old Nemesis

An old nemesis

Fighting against me since youth

Comes again to call,

Trying to snuff my life out

As it’s always wanted to.

Thus far it has lost,

But I am a realist,

One day I will lose

And will have to pay the price…

Until then I choose to live!

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
