Nighttime Closing In

Nighttime closing in

Finally peace and quiet

Mind and body sleep

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

I’ve Lost My Passion

I’ve lost my passion

I hope only for a while

Words flow less freely

Both mouth and mind are tongue-tied

Which causes me such great pain

Perhaps I need rest

Time to think and gather thoughts

Away from the screen

Putting pen back to paper

Maybe the old ways are best

 

~~ Dominic R. DIFrancesco ~~

 

Weary From The Day (Tanka)

Weary from the day
Sunset draws me to slumber
Like a lover’s kiss
Embraced by the tranquil night
I bid a tender adieu

~~Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Shine On Haloed Moon (Haiku)

Shine on haloed moon

Over nighttime sky thou art king

Thy subjects slumber

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Heaven’s Moonlight Shines (Senryu)

Heaven’s moonlight shines
A soft glow on sleeping earth
Divine renewal

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Eyes Close For The Day (Haiku)

Eyes close for the day

Preparing for tomorrow

Start with a clean slate


~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Absent Though Not Gone

Absent though not gone

A temporary reprieve

Enjoy my silence

Though unlikely to last long

I’ll be back with a vengeance

Time for regrouping

Collecting all of my thoughts

A tidy bundle

Set to explode on the page

For the world at large to see


~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Should A Tempest Flare (Tanka)

Should a tempest flare

Retreat from its vile rage

Peace lay just beyond

Like the eye of a cyclone

It too must take pause to rest

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

As We Near Our End (Tanka)

As we near our end

Do we find any comfort

Letting life go dark

Heaven awaits its next Saint

May you pass in peaceful sleep

~

~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~

 

Insomniac (Sonnet)

Sleep evades I toss and turn

Begging for good nights rest

This is all for which I yearn

Searching for slumber in jest

Plague as a Vampire to obambulate

Passing hour after hour on end

Striving on my sanity confiscate

Of this my foe will not bend

Try as I might absolute I am sure

My struggle most nights will go on

An insomniacs fate for eternity endure

Lasting until I am gone

Maybe its time for Ambien’s magic

To sleep before body and mind go tragic
