Putting Hand to Heart

Putting hand to heart

Each beat a link to the soul

Love knows no gender

.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Something Gnaws At Me

Something gnaws at me

Shredding the scars of my heart

Left to bleed again

Cleanly cut by razor blades

Love’s left to spill on the floor

Why pain in passion

So much that it breaks the heart

Contradictory

Is not love the greatest joy

As promised from up above

Perhaps I’m fickle

Believing that love is grand

Like in fairytales

If this turns out to be false

Then I am a born victim

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Heartbeat’s Rhythmic Call (Senryu)

Heartbeat’s rhythmic call

In search of it’s one true love

Defying logic

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Man’s Eyes Deceive Him (Tanka)

Man’s eyes deceive him
When under a woman’s spell
They say love is blind
Who would I be to argue
For I am truly bewitched

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Heart And Mind Collide (Tanka)

Heart and mind collide

The mind questions intentions

The heart loves blindly

Seldom does logic surmount

Leaving love victorious

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
