Take me as your own
Envelop me with your love
I need nothing else
I was destined to be yours
Since the beginning of time

Speak To Me (Sonnet)
Speak to me, whisper the tenderest of words
My ears and heart art open to thy love
There is nothing more that needest be heard
This I do vow before God up above
My love, dearest love, thou art more precious than gold
Thy love and life cherished above my own
This I do promise from thy youth to age old
I’ll strive my whole life to have shown
In the stars it was written before time began
Two souls were destined to be one
Our walk through eternity wouldst be hand-in-hand
From dawn until life’s setting sun
I promise to thee my undying love, with God as my witness on high
Sweet and as pure as the snow white dove, committed to thee ‘til I die
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Circle of Love (Tanka)
Our circle of love
Forged in a golden token
Worn on our left hands
Once held sacred before God
Is now a Cracker Jack prize

Love Can Be Painful – A Tanka
Love can be painful
Like a barbed wire wrapped heart
Bleeding and broken
Challenging love’s commitment
To withstand human weakness

Committed
By D. R. DiFrancesco
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your tired eyes look skyward
Begging for comfort without so much as a word
I reach out to you
Cradling you in an embrace born of affection
Expecting nothing in return
Your head resting on my chest
Can you feel my heart beat to your touch
Like a metronome keeping rhythm with your own
Exchanging words without speaking
I can hear your sadness and sense your pain
What can I do to relieve your tortured soul
Provide for you
Offer understanding without judgement
Reassure your lingering doubts
Hold tightly to your trembling hands
I will wade with you through the melancholy tide
You will not be left alone to drown
I am here to keep you afloat when you cannot swim
Don’t be afraid my love
For I will never leave your side
My commitment is eternal
