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.

Love’s Dance – A Tanka

Breath– your lips on mine

Warm and moist against my skin

Every nerve dancing

Calling ecstasy by name

In our love’s coital dance

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 Think Of You

I think of you…

When I’m alone

In a crowded theater

Just before I close my eyes

~

I see you…

In the face of every stranger

Standing beside me in the mirror

Lying next to me while I sleep

~

I feel you…

When we are apart

When I caress a picture you

In my most restful dreams

~

Know I love you…

‘Til my dying day

With every fibre of my being

With every breath I take

~

Simple things to express the depth of my love

Never ebbing, heartfelt and passionate

Engrained into my soul

My soulmate, my lover, my friend

How Long Does Love Last

How long does love last?

A question asked for eons,

Yet answers elude.

Wouldn’t it be best to ask,

How committed is your heart

To keep love alive?

For pondering loves demise

Will most certainly doom it to fail.

This Love, My Love I Have Procured

This love, my love I have procured

With this cadence thumping in my breast.

~

You have shadowed my sensibilities

Keeping step with tango’s passion.

~

Nothing more could I inquire of you

Than that which you have deliberately given me.

~

Fulfilled beyond words that you are mine and I yours,

Comrades and lovers in this roughshod world.

~

So rare in this realm of disparate souls;

Failures of the heart abound in every corner,

Tear-drenched souls void of our gift,

How sad their discomfort.

~

Neither crisis nor passing shall sever our bond;

Joined in Heaven we are destiny,

Our destiny, my destiny, your destiny,

For all these many years into eternity.

~

You are and have forever been

My love,

My friend,

My everything.

Of Lust – A Tanka

A tantric passion

Born of wanton desire

Is likely short lived

When forged of the physical

But void mutual love

~~ D, R, DiFrancesco ~~

A Determined Love

Kindred spirit

This love was born of the stars

Others would not hear of it

This destiny was ours

~~

Our two souls conjoined

By Heaven’s sacred bond

Through vows to be coined

In this world and beyond

~~

My treasured love

In sickness and in health

You’ve stood beside and above

Though my life eluded wealth

~~

Surely this love must be true

Were it not you wouldn’t have stayed

Illness put a stain, the cause we never knew

My trust you never betrayed

~~

Love does not abide

In passions fair weather alone

Nor does it strive to hide

From life’s pain and strife when shown

~~

Our love, my love

Is etched in stone to last the ages

Through all the push and shove

We’ve show the fallibility of sages

~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
