Musings of an Aspiring Author and Poet
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.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Slightest signs of life show
Through blades of grass, green of stem
Call of birds, babies
Winter cannot hold them back
They are forces of nature
~~Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Looking for escape
A mass of humanity
Sports–the drug of choice
Pushed by corporate giants
We‘ll pay almost any price
An amazing site
This sea of team wear–floating
All moving as one
Their wearers oblivious
That they are feeding the greed
At their own expense
~~Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Hands buried in dirt
Tilling my own little farm
Back to the basics
~~ Dominic R . DiFrancesco ~~
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
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 ~~
Cold salt spray rains down
Winds like daggers frost the soul
Of hearty sailors
Death may lie on the next swell
On their way to calm waters
Such is their lover
Both cruel and kind on a whim
With no emotion
She is as she’s always been
Nature’s passionate abyss
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Feel the warmth of sun
Cutting through the frozen air
A bud shows its face
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
God, Allah, Yahweh,
The Christ, Ram, Krishna, I Am
Names of The Divine
Emitting nothing but love
Until man ruins it
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Flaming orange clouds
Soft and inviting overhead
Sorbet of the sky
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
