Cold salt spray rains down
Winds like daggers frost the soul
Of hearty sailors
Death may lie on the next swell
On their way to calm waters
Such is their lover
Both cruel and kind on a whim
With no emotion
She is as she’s always been
Nature’s passionate abyss
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Driven wild by love
That time only enhances
Addictive like drugs
I don’t want to be rehabbed
Let me die as a junkie
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
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
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
So lovely are you,
A flower frozen in time,
Beauty eternal.
To my eyes forever young,
Though to others we grow old.
Age, is illusion,
Wasted for generations
On those bearing youth.
A shame and curse to be sure
For they are blinded by years.
One day they will know
What we begrudgingly learned,
That love knows no bounds.
It is beauty internal
That time cannot take away.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Man’s eyes deceive him
When under a woman’s spell
They say love is blind
Who would I be to argue
For I am truly bewitched
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Padlocked is my heart
Protected from being hurt
Your love is the key
~~Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
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
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
Withers and dies from neglect
Make the time to love
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Why do I love thee, seems a foolish thing to say,
Perhaps it is all the little things you do most every day.
A tender smile, a loving glance that lets me know you care,
The giggle of a schoolgirl, the way you twirl your hair.
Maybe it’s the caring heart revealed when I was ill,
Giving without hesitation though you likely had your fill.
All these things no one would notice in their daily grind,
But I, yes I alone do notice they are etched into my mind.
All of these are things I see and with aging ears do hear,
Though it’s surely something deeper that brings this man to tears.
Something from the deepest recesses making two one whole,
Touching every fiber of being down to my mortal soul.
It’s something that I cannot see or put in simple words,
Futile it would be to even try sounding most absurd.
So why is it that I love thee, still a foolish thing to say,
It’s everything about you that that I never could betray.
