You

When writing of you

Perplexed am I to the form.

No mold can contain you.

So much of life is a Parody,

Laughing at your ingrained silliness,

The mischievousness of your smile,

Twinkling eyes with a smoldering fire.

Haiku’s genteel nature is far too small,

Sister Tanka tries to express,

But her attention is much too short.

Perhaps an Ode would suffice

For flattery is your just due,

Ensued by inevitable embarrassment.

I could venture to sum your essence

Through the singularity of an Acrostic

Though this would scarcely scratch the surface.

Perhaps Triolet would be more fitting,

For none too often can I express the depth of my love;

Repetition surely would serve as reminder.

Even with all these

None can capture your unrestrained spirit,

The flow of you through space and time.

I will not try to confine you, that would be unfair.

Instead I will let you spread your wings

Writing your own verse

In the form of…

Free.

More Than Life – A Tanka

More than life itself

‘Tis you I love most deeply

That I would give all

My heart and my soul are yours

In this world and beyond

His Treasure

His calloused hands, soft

Caressing her loving cheek

She– his pot of gold

Greeting his broken body

With an understanding smile

~

His reason to live

Waits for him at long days end

Asking nothing more

Than to be loved as she loves

This he could never deny

Song In My Heart – A Haiku

This song in my heart

Each stanza sung just for you

A passionate tune

This Blanket Of Snow

This blanket of snow,

Holds no greater chill than that of my soul,

Tangled in frigid fingers of emotion,

Drowning in a veritable ocean,

Whose frothy foam I call home.

~

I ask not for your sympathy,

Desire not your empathy,

This road I must travel alone,

A path my heart to me has shown,

Until my thirst has been sated.

~

To struggle forth and never find,

Reeks with havoc a fragile mind,

Constantly reaching to dull the pain,

No matter how subtle to keep me sane,

Darkness hides the tears I grieve.

~

Let not this smile I outward show,

Mislead you that I carefree go,

Buried deep within sullen core,

Bolted and locked the iron door,

My feelings trapped in dungeon black.

~

I pray one day to find the key,

To let in light so that I might see,

The gift of worth in this life I’ve led,

Before I join the cold stone dead,

On a sea of stark eternity.

Spent – A Tanka

Spent, my heart racing

Pounding to the souls rhythm

Mute before love pure

You, the muse granting me breath

For without I would perish

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Blood Red

Blood red,

Yet silken soft,

Petals touch I held aloft.

Glorious in it’s crimson hue,

Appreciated by all but few.

Cherished true this sign of love,

Sent below from heaven above.

‘Tis no other quite compare,

With you caressed by gentle air.

Fragile as pure love suppose,

No other but you outshines the rose.

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
