We drive in silence
I behind the wheel…focused
Her my passenger
Nothing needs said as we go
We just hold hands and smile
The years have joined us
Love expressed in the wordless
Ever commonplace
It is not that we don’t speak
But that our hearts beat as one
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Scent of musk
Undulating in my nostrils,
Somehow I know it’s not mine.
Pretend that you have been faithful,
Infidelity is so unbecoming on you.
Cautious smiles flirt across your face.
I know that you know that I know the truth;
Only denial seems much less painful.
Now for the encore.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Something gnaws at me
Shredding the scars of my heart
Left to bleed again
Cleanly cut by razor blades
Love’s left to spill on the floor
Why pain in passion
So much that it breaks the heart
Contradictory
Is not love the greatest joy
As promised from up above
Perhaps I’m fickle
Believing that love is grand
Like in fairytales
If this turns out to be false
Then I am a born victim
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Stoic attitude
Hides the depth of your feelings
Rose’s thorny bloom
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
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
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Passionate courtship
Two songbirds blinded by love
Windowsill tango
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The number thirteen,
Coincidence or karma
Falling on Friday.
Inspiration for slashers
Needing to wear hockey masks.
Then wouldn’t you know
Valentine’s Day would follow.
Now that’s frightening!
What if I got the wrong gift?
She could kill me in my sleep.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
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
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Heartbeat’s rhythmic call
In search of it’s one true love
Defying logic
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
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
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
