The Silvery Moon (Haiku)

The silvery moon

Waits for heaven to call her

Mystical suitor

Ageless and Timeless My Love Art Thee (Sonnet)

Ageless and timeless my love art thee,

Perfection alive in human form.

Til the day my last breath I do finally breathe,

I vow to protect thee storm.

 

This promise I made to thee so long ago,

To this day I have ne’er forgotten.

Before God in Heaven on knee I did show,

Thanks for the path I’ve long trodden.

 

Honor me now to be thine til the end,

I ask with a heart that is true.

My feelings for thee shalt not break nor will bend,

Til death when we bid fond adieu.

 

Know that each day I cherish this gift, spent with my hand in your hand.

I take not for granted on retribution swift, my love to an island you strand.

We Drive in Silence

We drive in silence

I behind the wheel…focused

Her my passenger

Nothing needs said as we go

We just hold hands and smile

The years have joined us

Love expressed in the wordless

Ever commonplace

It is not that we don’t speak

But that our hearts beat as one

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Something Gnaws At Me

Something gnaws at me

Shredding the scars of my heart

Left to bleed again

Cleanly cut by razor blades

Love’s left to spill on the floor

Why pain in passion

So much that it breaks the heart

Contradictory

Is not love the greatest joy

As promised from up above

Perhaps I’m fickle

Believing that love is grand

Like in fairytales

If this turns out to be false

Then I am a born victim

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Speak To Me (Sonnet)

Speak to me, whisper the tenderest of words

My ears and heart art open to thy love

There is nothing more that needest be heard

This I do vow before God up above

 

My love, dearest love, thou art more precious than gold

Thy love and life cherished above my own

This I do promise from thy youth to age old

I’ll strive my whole life to have shown

 

In the stars it was written before time began

Two souls were destined to be one

Our walk through eternity wouldst be hand-in-hand

From dawn until life’s setting sun

 

I promise to thee my undying love, with God as my witness on high

Sweet and as pure as the snow white dove, committed to thee ‘til I die

Passionate Courtship (Haiku)

Passionate courtship

Two songbirds blinded by love

Windowsill tango

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

Lover’s Broken Heart

Lover’s broken heart

What thrives in the aftermath

But bitterness…hate

Weeds choke off one’s passion

Leaving nothing but wasteland

In trepidation

Pain foments until putrid

Romance the victim

With trust shattered like blown glass

The wounds bleed until bled out

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

Heartbeat’s Rhythmic Call (Senryu)

Heartbeat’s rhythmic call

In search of it’s one true love

Defying logic

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

The Touch Of Your Hand (Tanka)

The touch of your hand

Soft skin on my stubbled cheek

Tells me you love me

I try to speak but I’m mute

Our silence says all we need
 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Driven Wild By Love (Tanka)

Driven wild by love

That time only enhances

Addictive like drugs

I don’t want to be rehabbed

Let me die as a junkie

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
