Victims of love and of time
Can you read my heart
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Could you be trusted,
To do the right thing,
To love thy neighbor,
Be charitable,
Work for the common good,
Protect the weak,
Temper the strong,
Care for the old,
Protect the young,
Heal the sick,
Be kind to all,
Hold your tongue,
Respect opinions,
Treat everyone as equal,
Not tread on another’s path,
Live in peace,
Love?
Could you be trusted,
I think not.
For if you could there would be no need for laws.

A sensual kiss
The feathery touch of love
On a lover’s hand
Cares evaporate in fire
‘Til there’s nothing left but bliss
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
O’ the beauty, the warmth of the sun,
The bluest of blue skies, whitest of clouds floating on hidden breezes.
What worries do I have when surrounded by the Divine’s Creations?
Temporal pains hold no sway in the face of Heaven’s glorious perfection.
I gripe over aches, aging, suffering and death
Spending my life in pity over the trivial.
But why?
Is not peace and joy spread out before me,
Have I not been granted five senses for their pleasure?
What has been given proves to be insufficient,
An incessant want pervades my very being.
This ego drives me to horde ever more of the materialistic…
I am weak!
Lying back in the tall green grass I marvel at Heaven,
Watching birds of all variety crisscross its expanse.
Wondering…Perhaps they know the answer,
Living simply and in the moment,
Requiring nothing, but food and shelter.
Wasn’t this what was endowed to us by the Creator, In The Beginning
Until the day our egos drove us to sin.
Maybe it is time I step back,
Taking time to look for that little spark that burns within
…That is God.

Look up to the stars
And peer into Heaven’s eyes
Your future awaits
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A tender kiss I leave for thee
Upon thy cheek when you wake,
This day I leave on turbulent sea
Where chances are thy lover take.
Sheddeth not a sorrow-filled tear
Thine heart belongs the thee through time,
Though watery grave my end I fear
‘Tis enough to know thine heart is mine.
Pray for thee my lover pure
In this our night of last embrace,
Though parted love survives I’m sure
In memory of thy angelic face.
Thine smile comforts as farewell I bid, for journey toward mysterious lands,
Thy strength in sorrow thou surely hid, as gently you kiss my trembling hands.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
You must dare to dream
If you’re ever to succeed
Find your happiness
It’s not about the money
It’s about satisfaction
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Her ruby red lips speak volumes in their silence, parted and warm to the taste. Nothing more in the throes of passion do I need to be fulfilled as skin glistens upon skin.
Natural and beautiful, this lovers dance enshrined in antiquity shall spin on until the end of time.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Putting hand to heart
Each beat a link to the soul
Love knows no gender

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Searching for true love
Can consume you like quick sand
Do not allow it
Take time…open yourself up
The risk is worth the reward
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
