Every Thought Of You – A Tanka

Every thought of you

Conjures up the memories

I’ve tried to suppress

Spilling out my weaknesses

Leaving me spent and hollow

Lover – A Cinquain

Lover

Found amongst stars

Giving passion freely

Living life in euphoria

Beloved

~

Pulsing – A Tanka

Blood flows erratic

Pulsing strain against my veins

Testing my hearts beat

Love or lust it matters not

When bathed in raw emotion

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

The Fire – A Sedoka

A gentle caress

Tracing jaw line cheek to chin

Ignites flaming desire

~

Your breath on my ear

Stokes the fire of my love

For no one other than you

~

For You

I bleed for you,

When you cry I cry for you,

Tears that stain my soul,

Not out of sympathy alone,

Not out of pity,

Not out of martyrdom,

But out of purest love

True and genuine.

Ingrained like roots buried deep,

Twisting, wrapping around my bones;

Without them I would starve,

Without you I would wither,

An impossibility.

We are sown of perfect seed;

Ordained by the universe,

Bound by what cannot be bought,

It must be grown,

Watered,

Nourished,

Nurtured to maturity,

Protected until the end of time–

I am yours.

Convoluted Love – A Tanka

Convoluted love

A labyrinth of emotions

Wrenching at the heart

Leaving you vulnerable

And easily dismembered

Buried Within – A Tanka

Buried within me

I found what I thought I’d lost

A love for myself

Long hidden by a facade

The time has come for release

~

Time for Making Time – A Tanka

Time for making time

To do the things that one loves

What ever that is

Like the wick of a candle

Whose end burns ever closer

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Silence Deafening – A Tanka

Silence deafening

Alone with my thoughts of you

Tormenting my soul

Will loneliness be my fate

Led by love’s vicious blindness

~

The Question

I was once asked,

“When death stares you in the face what will you say?”

I pondered and sighed and smiled a smile I could not erase.

Thank you…

That was my answer,

Thank you for my life,

It has been full.

Thank you for my wife,

My lover,

My partner,

My children,

Thank you for every sunrise,

Every sunset,

Every shooting star in the heavens,

Thank you for all the love,

The sadness,

The joys,

The pain,

I couldn’t have gotten on without you.

These are but a simple few of all for which I’d give thanks.

Of all that I am thankful for, I am most thankful for time,

Not for how much or how little,

But thank you for the time that I had in this beautiful tortured world,

Amongst those I love,

And those that loved me.

For these I am most thankful.
