Musings of an Aspiring Author and Poet
Sad is this season
That its kindness is fleeting
Gone in the new year
Replaced once again with greed
And loveless human spirit
Quickly we forget
The message of tradition
Tossing it aside
When it no longer serves us
Returning to loathsome ways
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Padlocked is my heart
Protected from being hurt
Your love is the key
~~Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Inspiration found
Within every living thing
Nature’s perfection
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Calloused heart, fear not my advances please,
Harm, no harm shalt ever I impart.
Wouldst I have journeyed o’er these seven seas,
Courting thee in earnest right from the start.
My solemn promise to thee I offer, lest I die,
Taking thy hand within mine.
A chance I do ask that you givest love a try,
Lest I return to the seas and her watery brine.
Thou hast been injured, I knowest this for sure,
Sympathies assuredly do I give.
Purest of love doth I prescribe as the cure,
I swearest for as long as I live.
Never shalt this heart ever part they fragile side, this I do promise to thee.
Affection do I pledge and swearth not to hide, devoted to thee for eternity.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Gather up your dreams
Clutch them tightly to your breast
Never letting go
Believe they will manifest…
This becomes reality
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Will the killing end
The cycle of violence
Answered with the same
When has retribution quelled
Never–it’s provocation
Igniting more death
Until reasons are foggy
And senses immune
It becomes the way of life
Cold, hard and desensitized
~~Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
‘A Poetic Proposal’ by debut author Julian Froment is a journey of love. Dedicated to that one special woman.
This is a collection of poems that plumb the very depths of that deepest of emotions,LOVE. Running counter to this is the on-going theme of angst and heartbreak that is present when two beings that are destined to be one are separated by distance, and in this case a rather large, wet ocean.
This collection progresses chronologically from initial meeting to final proposal of marriage, taking the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride of highs and lows. The reality of the author and his intended living half-lives, together, then apart, together, then apart, is clearly evident throughout the course of this collection.
On Gossamer Wings
On gossamer wings,
On gossamer wings,
My heart it flies to you.
To be together,
‘till the end of days,
Is all that’s left to do.
Flying high,
‘cross the ocean blue,
To where it now belongs.
Cradled within,
A soul so true,
Amidst angelic song.
And soon now,
Oh, so very soon,
The body shall be along.
To join the heart,
To fill the void,
Back where I belong.

Perpetuating killing

It only breeds more hatred
