Your childish rants
Make you look foolish and small
Its time to grow up

Childish – Haiku

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.
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~

Molten love cast out
Into an icy blue sea
Hardens over time

Torment me no more
Your deceit has bled me dry
Heart torn asunder

Fall of the Mighty
Fools revel in their own importance,
Looking down the slippery slope of their noses,
Grinning sarcastic grins at those plagued with less fortune
~~
Vexed not by the pomposity of their exploits,
Superiority exists only in their minds,
Diluted and delusional in their arrogance.
~~
All that they possess most surely can be forfeited,
Captured in an instant and dissolved,
Thrusting the high-and-mighty into squalor.
~~
Reparations for their aristocratic parlance,
Hubris bleeds from every laceration.
As these dolts retreat to live amongst the salt.
~~
Humbled in the face of their failures,
Unpretentious in their relations,
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~

Cascading down mountainsides

A tangerine sky
The days sunshine bids farewell
To usher nightfall

Night at the Symphony
The silence of sunset,
Birds return to their nests,
Resting from their day of song.
~~
Crickets rosin their bows,
Preparing for the evenings symphony,
While crowds await their glorious tune.
~~
The sun glows mandarin,
As it slowly ducks behind the shadowy horizon,
Echoing in a tense truce between diurnal and nocturnal.
~~
As the last sliver of day sets,
The orchestra begins their performance,
Breaking the uneasy silence.
~~
Eerie yet beautiful sounds of nightfall,
Originating from unseen musicians,
Thrill their awestruck audience.
~~
Wondrous are the players of the night,
Talented and shy, invisible to all except the trained eye,
Hiding behind their curtain of darkness.
~~
Night is not to be feared, but cherished,
Enveloping its onlookers in the leisurely tune,
Eliciting a most restful slumber.
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~

Blazing sun blinding
Vultures circle overhead
Glad its a mirage
