Lover – A Cinquain

Lover

Found amongst stars

Giving passion freely

Living life in euphoria

Beloved

Crystal Black Night – A Haiku

The crystal black night

Virgin canvas for the stars

Masterpiece awaits

~

~~ 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

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

We Belong – An Etheree

We

belong

as one with

our brothers and

sisters as we walk

this unkempt road of life

from beginning to it’s end.

Race, creed, color, orientation

do not define the person inside

they are but labels used to divide us.

The Fire – A Sedoka

A gentle caress

Tracing jaw line cheek to chin

Ignites flaming desire

~

Your breath on my ear

Stokes the fire of my love

For no one other than you

Summer Nights – A Kyrielle

 Summer nights in sweltering heat.

Crickets chirp ne’er miss a beat.

Cheerful song, devil-may-care.

Like a knife cuts stagnant air.

~

Ribbit goes the frog in pond.

Male to female they both respond.

Spawning tadpole the two a pair.

Like a knife cuts stagnant air.

~

Heat of night does not deter.

Frog and cricket both concur.

Beautiful songs they both do share.

Like a knife cuts stagnant air.

Enough – A Tanka

Somber do I feel

Weeping for the worlds pains

As if mine alone

In our culture of excess

Is there not enough for all

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Mine Alone

These dreams, my dreams, mine alone,

Shared at will or hidden away,

Lived out to fruition or buried in my minds tomb,

My choice, mine alone.

~

Whether they live, whether they die is for me to decide,

They are my minions doing as I say, doing as I do,

Never questioning, never revolting, just being,

Mine to rule, mine alone.

~

Granted at birth, one with the essence,

Natural as breathing, the blood coursing through my veins,

Beholden to my whims, subject to my wishes,

Mine to shape, mine alone.

~

These dreams, my reality, my world,

All I know, all I truly possess,

They can never be taken from me, they are mine,

Mine alone.

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

For You

I bleed for you,

When you cry I cry for you,

Tears that stain my soul,

Not out of sympathy alone,

Not out of pity,

Not out of martyrdom,

But out of purest love

True and genuine.

Ingrained like roots buried deep,

Twisting, wrapping around my bones;

Without them I would starve,

Without you I would wither,

An impossibility.

We are sown of perfect seed;

Ordained by the universe,

Bound by what cannot be bought,

It must be grown,

Watered,

Nourished,

Nurtured to maturity,

Protected until the end of time–

I am yours.

Convoluted Love – A Tanka

Convoluted love

A labyrinth of emotions

Wrenching at the heart

Leaving you vulnerable

And easily dismembered
