Speak To Me (Sonnet)

Speak to me, whisper the tenderest of words

My ears and heart art open to thy love

There is nothing more that needest be heard

This I do vow before God up above

 

My love, dearest love, thou art more precious than gold

Thy love and life cherished above my own

This I do promise from thy youth to age old

I’ll strive my whole life to have shown

 

In the stars it was written before time began

Two souls were destined to be one

Our walk through eternity wouldst be hand-in-hand

From dawn until life’s setting sun

 

I promise to thee my undying love, with God as my witness on high

Sweet and as pure as the snow white dove, committed to thee ‘til I die

Lover’s Broken Heart

Lover’s broken heart

What thrives in the aftermath

But bitterness…hate

Weeds choke off one’s passion

Leaving nothing but wasteland

In trepidation

Pain foments until putrid

Romance the victim

With trust shattered like blown glass

The wounds bleed until bled out

Heartbeat’s Rhythmic Call (Senryu)

Heartbeat’s rhythmic call

In search of it’s one true love

Defying logic

The Touch Of Your Hand (Tanka)

The touch of your hand

Soft skin on my stubbled cheek

Tells me you love me

I try to speak but I’m mute

Our silence says all we need

Clouds Layered, Thick, Dark (Tanka)

Clouds layered thick, dark

Framing nature’s ragged face

She weeps for the sun

They are but star-crossed lovers

Counting down to reunion

Archer Stands Ready (Tanka)

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

Padlocked Is My Heart (Senryu)

Padlocked is my heart
Protected from being hurt
Your love is the key

Calloused Heart (Sonnet)

Calloused heart, fear not my advances please,

Harm, no harm shalt ever I impart.

Wouldst I have journeyed o’er these seven seas,

Courting thee in earnest right from the start.

 

My solemn promise to thee I offer, lest I die,

Taking thy hand within mine.

A chance I do ask that you givest love a try,

Lest I return to the seas and her watery brine.

 

Thou hast been injured, I knowest this for sure,

Sympathies assuredly do I give.

Purest of love doth I prescribe as the cure,

I swearest for as long as I live.

 

Never shalt this heart ever part they fragile side, this I do promise to thee.

Affection do I pledge and swearth not to hide, devoted to thee for eternity.

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

Whisper In My Ear

Whisper in my ear

My fears and doubts thou comfort

Tis all I long for

 

Trepidation doth consume

But thou art my loving cure

 

O’ these many years

Without words we have embraced

Through passionate glance

 

Giving solace when needed

Tis nothing I wouldst not do

 

Thou art my heaven

Thy savior in times of angst

Lover eternal

 

This covenant I maketh

To loveth thee for ever


~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

A Heart Forsaken (Senryu)

A heart forsaken
Withers and dies from neglect
Make the time to love
