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

Your tired eyes look skyward
Begging for comfort without so much as a word
I reach out to you
Cradling you in an embrace born of affection
Expecting nothing in return
Your head resting on my chest
Can you feel my heart beat to your touch
Like a metronome keeping rhythm with your own
Exchanging words without speaking
I can hear your sadness and sense your pain
What can I do to relieve your tortured soul
Provide for you
Offer understanding without judgement
Reassure your lingering doubts
Hold tightly to your trembling hands
I will wade with you through the melancholy tide
You will not be left alone to drown
I am here to keep you afloat when you cannot swim
Don’t be afraid my love
For I will never leave your side
My commitment is eternal
By D. R. DiFrancesco

A lavender haze abounds
The scent of lilac and persimmon permeates the air
What heavenly gifts to the senses
You, my love are such a treasure to behold
Bathed in these precious gifts from God
Your ivory skin soft to the touch
Perfumed in natures bounty stimulates my soul
Surely this must be Utopia
For to know you, you must be loved
In you is found serenity
A beauty deeper than the deepest of oceans
What further testimony need be professed
Than that of one enlightened by your being
It is not the physical alone
No, for that would be ensconced in the superficial
This may suffice were it not for your genuine modesty
Mere words can not portray the essence of you
As it is hidden behind a gentle facade
To ask for more would be an act of gluttony
An offence to the glory of nature
A sin against the wisdom of the Creator
You are perfection in my tired eyes
Beloved for all time
By D. R. DiFrancesco

Carnal excitement
Blood coursing through tender veins
Lost on one night stands
~~~
Your blue eyes cut deep
Filling the hole in my soul
With abundant love
~~~
We sit quietly
Lost in a tender embrace
Shutting out the world
~~~
Unrequited love
Corrupts the delicate heart
Leaving it broken
By D. R. DiFrancesco
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder,
As does love when souls grow older,
Doth the mind play tricks on the aging eye,
Maybe so, it most surely try.
Portraying the look of younger days,
We overlook the changing grays,
Projecting on the freshness of youth,
Beliefs most surely are the truth.
With utmost certainty a gift this must be,
For lovely today as the first are thee,
Is this a trick or are we but blind,
Left to the mercy of a hopeful mind.
Doth this make us mere fools to our memory,
Would have it no other way if it let me,
Hiding away the ravages of time,
Leaving in life a love most sublime.
By D. R. DiFrancesco
~~
Love, a sweet and fragile thing,
So often taken for granted,
Or tossed aside as insignificant.
~~
Only a heart blackened,
Burned and broken,
Could commit such a tragedy.
~~
Choosing to pass alone,
Lonely and cold,
Into the eternal night.
~~
Foolish choices,
Made by selfish men,
In the name of earthly gain.
~~
For what purpose,
Material possessions are finite,
Discarded on our last day.
~~
But is not love eternal,
Gifted freely from one to another,
Melding with our very souls.
~~
What a poor man is he,
Confined to his worldly goods,
While silence fills his rooms.
~~
Does not love will us to go on,
Strengthening our resolve,
Even in times of affliction.
~~
If this were this not the case,
I long ago would have ceased,
Suffocated by life’s despair.
~~
Choosing love instead is most natural,
Engraved into our very being,
‘Til death do us part.
By D. R. DiFrancesco
A casual glance,
Sending whispers of love and lust,
Eyes averting eyes,
Embarrassed at the thought of capture.
An innocent smile,
Sunlights glimmer off ivory mirror,
Seductive and sensual,
Beckoning an invitation.
A brush of skin,
Accidental yet intentional,
Goosebumps cascading,
Erupting hot and lascivious.
A pounding heart,
Rhythmically offering itself,
Longing to be cradled,
In the impetuous throes of passion.
A tender kiss,
Long and warm on silky lips,
Without so much as a word,
Two become one.
By D. R. DiFrancesco
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
That come-hither look,
The smile, the hush in your voice,
Sends chills up my spine.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The rapiers blade,
Stings less than love forsaken,
On a starless night.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Arrival of spring,,
Emboldens a passive heart,
Wakening young love.
By D. R. DiFrancesco
Drenched and cold I cry,
Longing to be comforted,
By the warmth of you.
#########################
Do you feel my pain,
Crying out from every pore,
To be understood.
#########################
Echo my hearts beat,
Letting me know we are one,
One heart and one soul.
