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

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

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

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

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.

Something So Simple

Something so simple

We make so complicated

Love, a smile, their dimples

Can we never be placated

We make things so hard

When we should be accepting

Love is written in the stars

But too late we’re left reflecting

~

See You, Feel You

I see you–sights of you everywhere I go,

Awake, asleep, eyes closed or open.

I feel you in every moment of every day,

When I’m alone or in a crowd.

You my love are so ingrained in me,

Individuals–yes, but we are one.

We share a history and travel into one future,

Plotting course through this life.

Joys and sorrows, trials and tribulations,

All have made us who we are,

Made us stronger through adversity.

These are not to be regretted, but cherished,

Part of living the life we have been given.

Not one moment would I change,

Would I give back exchanging it for another.

We are who we are my love,

No more from this life could I ask.

Celestial Star – A Tanka

Celestial star

Pulse, the heartbeat of heaven

Life breath, nighttime sky

Reaching out to touch my soul

You are my cosmic lover

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Lean Close – A Tanka

Lean close and listen

Do you hear the rhythmic beat

The hearts song it sings

Tapping out love’s flamenco

In throes of passion for you

~

I Beg Of Heaven – A Villanelle

I beg of heaven for light of day

For night fills dreams of you with fear

On bended knee in tears I pray

~

What can I do, what dare I say

To break this darkness with love and cheer

I beg of heaven for light of day

~

This deep despair I keep at bay

In hopes you’ll return my cherished dear

On bended knee in tears I pray

~

I never would your heart betray

My passion felt I have made so clear

I beg of heaven for light of day

~

Were I to change would then you stay

Anything I’d do to mend heartbreak severe

On bended knee in tears I pray

~

To you, I promise to never stray

Your honor I’ll guard and never besmear

I beg of heaven for light of day

On bended knee in tears I pray

** I thought I would give a new style a try.  The Villanelle is in the form of A1 B A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 A2.  It is very structured, but was interesting to write.  I would appreciate any feedback you may wish to provide.  Thanks.
