You’re a mystery
Saying much in your silence
Steel to a magnet

You’re a mystery
Saying much in your silence
Steel to a magnet
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I beg–do not look too deeply into my eyes,
What you see may both be surprising and terrifying.
Blackness…deep…dark…all consuming,
May swallow you up like the undertow.
You swim, kick, scream and still you drown,
Falling into the depths.
Seeing the sun above and nothingness below,
Praying to your God to be saved
As your tears dilute into the salty sea, unrecognizable.
Surely you will be disappointed,
My weakness splayed like modern art on my soul.
This is not what you committed too,
Vows could not have prepared you for this hell,
The hell that is my secret,
One held close to the heart,
For as long as I can remember.

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Blood red,
Yet silken soft,
Petals touch I held aloft.
Glorious in it’s crimson hue,
Appreciated by all but few.
Cherished true this sign of love,
Sent below from heaven above.
‘Tis no other quite compare,
With you caressed by gentle air.
Fragile as pure love suppose,
No other but you outshines the rose.
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Every thought of you
Conjures up the memories
I’ve tried to suppress
Spilling out my weaknesses
Leaving me spent and hollow
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I think of you…
When I’m alone
In a crowded theater
Just before I close my eyes
~
I see you…
In the face of every stranger
Standing beside me in the mirror
Lying next to me while I sleep
~
I feel you…
When we are apart
When I caress a picture you
In my most restful dreams
~
Know I love you…
‘Til my dying day
With every fibre of my being
With every breath I take
~
Simple things to express the depth of my love
Never ebbing, heartfelt and passionate
Engrained into my soul
My soulmate, my lover, my friend
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Together so long
We speak volumes with silence
Our thoughts meld as one
What a strange phenomenon
This marriage of two mimes
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Catapult my feelings to the sky
Scattered to poles by twisting winds
Revealed my heart so you may lie
Within my arms, true love begins
~
To you my words no justice do
My tongue in knots, I make no sense
Conduct portrays my emotions true
Offered up with no presumed pretense
~
I choose to pose my love in verse
Too shy to speak these heartfelt words
My love exposed, flowery and terse
In these my heart is garishly heard
~
I have no qualms in sharing my soul
It was meant at birth to be given to you
Without your hand I’ll never be whole
Through God and my faith I construe
~
Distress me no more with nary response
This agony more torturous than death
Mutter your reply, I urge you at once
Before drawing in my final breath.
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
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 ~~
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 ~~
