Has there not been enough killing, enough hate
All centered around religious faith?
Perhaps kindness and love would be a better solution;
Plying our ingenuity to the pursuits of peace and joy
Instead of weapons of human destruction.
Never has there been such a proliferation!
Ever more I believe the right path is unfettered love,
Something we are born with, but many of us lose through cynicism.
Strive to regain it and you may witness the rebirth of childlike joy.

Celestial peace
Seeps into this earthly soul
A slice of heaven
Perhaps this mortal being
Is a piece of the Divine
Not just in image
But a spark of God itself
If only we’d see
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Center has been lost
Chakras not finding balance
Emotions rampant
I seek answers from within
In council with the Divine
I believe The Way
I can feel it in my soul
Though at times muddled
Living in Light and in Love
Brings life into perspective
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Tell me a story
One with love and compassion
My greatest longing
To brighten this dark world
Is this too much to ask for
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Salvaged hearts still beat
Slower and more cautiously
Afraid to be hurt
What else would be expected
After being left for dead
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Heart and mind collide
The mind questions intentions
The heart loves blindly
Seldom does logic surmount
Leaving love victorious
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I am daily blessed
Wanting nothing more of life
Than that which I have
My wife and children comfort
These are all I need
Perhaps I’m simple
Unmotivated to some
But I am happy
One day I will pass smiling
While they wallow in regret
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Last night I laid quietly by your side.
Only the sound of your breathing could be heard,
Very soft and low over the silence of night.
Enchanted was I by this simple act.
I thought back to when we first met,
So long ago in what seems like a previous life.
Beauty of your body and spirit enthralled me,
Love at first sight captured me,
In the many years since, it has not abated.
Never questioning fate we have become one–
Destined for eternity–as lovers in Heaven.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Fold into my arms
‘Tis were you’ve always belonged
Love is in the stars
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A casual glance,
Sending whispers of love and lust,
Eyes averting eyes,
Embarrassed at the thought of capture.
An innocent smile,
Sunlights glimmer off ivory mirror,
Seductive and sensual,
Beckoning an invitation.
A brush of skin,
Accidental yet intentional,
Goosebumps cascading,
Erupting hot and lascivious.
A pounding heart,
Rhythmically offering itself,
Longing to be cradled,
In the impetuous throes of passion.
A tender kiss,
Long and warm on silky lips,
Without so much as a word,
Two become one.
