~~~~~~
Carnal excitement
Blood coursing through tender veins
Lost on one night stands
~~~
Your blue eyes cut deep
Filling the hole in my soul
With abundant love
~~~
We sit quietly
Lost in a tender embrace
Shutting out the world
~~~
Unrequited love
Corrupts the delicate heart
Leaving it broken
Glass half full
~~
In trust we find peace,
Rushing in optimism,
So to bathe in joy.
~~
A song in the heart,
Shared with those longing for love,
Betters our world.
~~
Be not critical,
For it suites the pessimist,
Leaving them sour.

I drift amongst clouds
A dreamer from my birth
Always seeking truth

The hourglass turned
Sand falls slowly in rhythm
Imagine times pass

What lies in the mind
Mysterious and joyful
A wonder of life

############################
Why trust eludes you
A question posed out of love
Left long unanswered
############################
Cascading feelings
Trampled and suppressed by fate
Left out to decay
############################
Destitute and dead
Abandoned like so much trash
Thrown to the four winds
By D. R. DiFrancesco
************************************
Winters icy chill,
Leaves frost on tender branches,
Bidding fall goodnight.
************************************
The wane of summer,
Ignites a rush of color,
Solace to the eyes.
************************************
Howl of autumn wind,
A cyclone of rainbow leaves,
Falls softly to earth.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
That come-hither look,
The smile, the hush in your voice,
Sends chills up my spine.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The rapiers blade,
Stings less than love forsaken,
On a starless night.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Arrival of spring,,
Emboldens a passive heart,
Wakening young love.
By D. R. DiFrancesco
Drenched and cold I cry,
Longing to be comforted,
By the warmth of you.
#########################
Do you feel my pain,
Crying out from every pore,
To be understood.
#########################
Echo my hearts beat,
Letting me know we are one,
One heart and one soul.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hiding in shadows,
Scared of seeing the real you,
For fear of failure.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Draw on your beauty,
The lighthouse that will guide you,
To a brighter day.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Be strong little one,
Your essence makes you unique,
In all the world.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To strive for greatness,
Means sometimes you will stumble,
Rising to the top.
By D. R. DiFrancesco
Bow your heads and pray,
Those lost on that tragic day,
Live on in our hearts.
*************************************
The scattered debris,
Charred and lifeless in that field,
Breaking the silence.
*************************************
The two titans fall,
Waking a sleeping giant,
From it’s lethargy.
*************************************
A symbol of might,
Flame and confusion consume,
Still bravery shone.
By D. R. DiFrancesco
**********************************
Your skin soft as down,
Pure as the wind driven snow,
Pressed up against me.
**********************************
Our Lords presence floats,
On the wings of an angel,
Renewing my faith.
**********************************
A child’s laughter,
Innocent and frolicsome,
Instills me with joy.
**********************************
Beauty of nature,
Unspoiled by man’s footsteps,
Given as God’s gift.
