So tender a kiss
Shared between two loving hearts
Intertwined like vines
The taste of the grapes so sweet
The wine most exceptional

Beauty is skin deep
Seen through the beholders eye
A soul mate for one

The Rose
The rose,
Petals clutched tight,
Withholds the beauty of it’s flower.
~~
Quietly she waits,
While lovers challenge for affection,
In hopes of unlocking her secrets.
~~
She does not reveal these secrets easily,
Preferring games,
Teasing those hoping to have the key.
~~
While the courtship continues,
She revels in the chaos,
Hiding what lays behind her silken robes.
~~
She is not modest,
Nor shy in spite of appearance,
Instead she is a manipulator.
~~
Prickly and pretentious,
Gladly drawing first blood,
Before confessing her undying love.

A Fools Infatuation
I hoped you’d see me for who I am,
Kind, tender, loving,
Not the image in a funhouse mirror.
~~
Twisted, distorted,
Too tall and thin, too short and fat,
Maybe a little different.
~~
Dredging up the courage,
Heart feeling ready to burst,
Dry throated I swallowed.
~~
Struggling to make a sound,
I offered my heart,
You laughed.
~~
Crushed, eyes welling with tears,
Head in hands to hide the shame,
Soulless succubus.
~~
Confidence torn to shreds,
Heart eviscerated, raised to the scorching sun,
It withered.
~~
What a fool I was,
To be so presumptuous,
That you could ever love me.
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Invisible
This passionate heart,
Buried deep within, beating in rhythm with your every breath,
Yet I cannot find the right words to tell you so.
~~
Tongue tied by emotions in wont of regurgitation,
Swallowed back due to my own apprehension,
These burning embers sour in the pit of my stomach.
~~
I glance your way in hopes of recognition
Momentary contact from your crystalline blue eyes gives me hope
Until I realize you are looking through me.
~~
I am veiled from your sight,
The background in the play that is your life,
Dressing to complete your pretty picture.
~~
What must I do to lead in your panoply,
All that I am I would gladly bestow upon you,
Without hesitation or precondition.
~~
If only I was endowed with the fortitude,
But I am not and never have been,
Instead my timidity consumes me.
~~
Breathless I am left to watch you from the sidelines,
Only dreaming of what might have been,
Wishing that fate had shined a loving light upon us.
~~
But it was not to be,
As destiny has dictated the climax of this cruel tango,
Leaving one of us to be the wallflower.

A Passionate Embrace
Sweethearts converge in a passionate dance,
Lovers embrace, eyes locked in a trance.
~~
Gliding on a silk and satin tidalwave,
To the other their hearts each selflessly gave.
~~
Souls intertwined in a romantic song,
Soaked in the potion of their love for so long.
~~
Their rhythm flows with each beat of their hearts,
Breaths come more rapid as ecstasy starts.
~~
Invisible to the world, it’s existence fades,
Consumed with each other their bodies obey.
~~
Observers may say their infatuation can’t last,
Their hearts disagree as pulses flutter fast.
~~
A state of euphoria envelops and besets,
Neither lover capable to resist or regret.
~~
A sensual moment shared between two symbiotic lives,
Stokes a fire eternal as their yearning grows and thrives.
~~
Those shy of passion these feeling could not know,
Concerning matters of affection they dare never go.
~~
Where love is involved it grows hot and grows quick,
Feeding the flame is the eternal trick.
~~
For romance to last the heat of passion must run deep,
Cherish and be devoted to the others heart you keep.
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
A Prickly Passion – Haiku
The thorn of a rose
The petals soft and silky
Draw blood to find love
