Sit still and quiet
Breathe in its luscious silence
Feel it embrace you
Tell me, what does it whisper
Without so much as a word.
Perhaps love is it,
Love for yourself and others.
What you always knew.
Stifled by chaotic noise–
It has finally been freed.
Let it swaddle you!
Do not keep it trapped inside.
It is meant to give;
Not with great expectations,
But with the purest of hearts.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Archer stands ready
Arrow nocked, bow fully drawn
He’s poised for the kill
Huddled I stay out of sight
For fear I’m Cupid’s target
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
So lovely are you,
A flower frozen in time,
Beauty eternal.
To my eyes forever young,
Though to others we grow old.
Age, is illusion,
Wasted for generations
On those bearing youth.
A shame and curse to be sure
For they are blinded by years.
One day they will know
What we begrudgingly learned,
That love knows no bounds.
It is beauty internal
That time cannot take away.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
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 ~~
In the angriest sky
Peace doth prevail.
Her rains, the tenderest kiss
Baptizing this poor sinner.
Look not upon her in dismay,
For beyond her blackness is light.
A serenity beyond outward appearance
Offered to thee if thine eyes you will open.
All is not as bleak as thou believest,
Thy turmoil is but momentary,
Soon to depart if thou wilt allow,
Affording ingress to a brighter day.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
You’re running away
Trying to find your true self
But it eludes you
Self dear one is not a place
Because it lives inside you
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Lowly water drop
Once gone leaves a ghostly tear
Such are the tears of men
Waste not this precious lifetime
Make goodness your legacy
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Season nearly done
All that’s left is the New Year
The question I ask
≈
Will anything change this time
Or will we fail as always
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Watching them grow up
A new chapter starts today
Taking to the road
Yes, we pray for their safety
Knowing we must let them go
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
There’s no place like home
Family huddled around
Sharing Christmas cheer
Unless home is on the street
And your cheer is someones trash
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A little reminder to be generous to those in need at this time and all times of the year, if for no other reason than it is the right thing to do.
