Archer stands ready
Arrow nocked, bow fully drawn
He’s poised for the kill
Huddled I stay out of sight
For fear I’m Cupid’s target

So Lovely Are You
So lovely are you,
A flower frozen in time,
Beauty eternal.
To my eyes forever young,
Though to others we grow old.
Age, is illusion,
Wasted for generations
On those bearing youth.
A shame and curse to be sure
For they are blinded by years.
One day they will know
What we begrudgingly learned,
That love knows no bounds.
It is beauty internal
That time cannot take away.

Man’s Eyes Deceive Him (Tanka)
Man’s eyes deceive him
When under a woman’s spell
They say love is blind
Who would I be to argue
For I am truly bewitched

Padlocked Is My Heart (Senryu)
Padlocked is my heart
Protected from being hurt
Your love is the key

Calloused Heart (Sonnet)
Calloused heart, fear not my advances please,
Harm, no harm shalt ever I impart.
Wouldst I have journeyed o’er these seven seas,
Courting thee in earnest right from the start.
My solemn promise to thee I offer, lest I die,
Taking thy hand within mine.
A chance I do ask that you givest love a try,
Lest I return to the seas and her watery brine.
Thou hast been injured, I knowest this for sure,
Sympathies assuredly do I give.
Purest of love doth I prescribe as the cure,
I swearest for as long as I live.
Never shalt this heart ever part they fragile side, this I do promise to thee.
Affection do I pledge and swearth not to hide, devoted to thee for eternity.

A Poetic Proposal By Julian Froment
‘A Poetic Proposal’ by debut author Julian Froment is a journey of love. Dedicated to that one special woman.
This is a collection of poems that plumb the very depths of that deepest of emotions,LOVE. Running counter to this is the on-going theme of angst and heartbreak that is present when two beings that are destined to be one are separated by distance, and in this case a rather large, wet ocean.
This collection progresses chronologically from initial meeting to final proposal of marriage, taking the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride of highs and lows. The reality of the author and his intended living half-lives, together, then apart, together, then apart, is clearly evident throughout the course of this collection.
On Gossamer Wings
On gossamer wings,
On gossamer wings,
My heart it flies to you.
To be together,
‘till the end of days,
Is all that’s left to do.
Flying high,
‘cross the ocean blue,
To where it now belongs.
Cradled within,
A soul so true,
Amidst angelic song.
And soon now,
Oh, so very soon,
The body shall be along.
To join the heart,
To fill the void,
Back where I belong.
‘A Poetic Proposal’, which is available in both digital and paperback formats, can be obtained here:

‘Reading this collection of poems made me feel like I was eavesdropping on the world’s most romantic marriage proposal’ … ‘If you are looking for love poems to share with your own lover, these are just the poems’ … ‘After reading this collection, I was ready to say ‘I do’ myself’ – Pamela Beckford
’The poems in this book are very romantic, emotional, well-written, and thought out well’ … ‘This is romantic poetry at its best’ – Chris McMullen
‘The poet freely admits that this is about his love life and dedicated to his lady, so you know you’re getting an insight into something private. That brings an interesting dimension to the poems because you know there’s a living, breathing story behind them’ – Charles E Yallowitz
Whisper In My Ear
Whisper in my ear
My fears and doubts thou comfort
Tis all I long for
Trepidation doth consume
But thou art my loving cure
O’ these many years
Without words we have embraced
Through passionate glance
Giving solace when needed
Tis nothing I wouldst not do
Thou art my heaven
Thy savior in times of angst
Lover eternal
This covenant I maketh
To loveth thee for ever
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A Heart Forsaken (Senryu)
A heart forsaken
Withers and dies from neglect
Make the time to love

Why Do I Love Thee
Why do I love thee, seems a foolish thing to say,
Perhaps it is all the little things you do most every day.
A tender smile, a loving glance that lets me know you care,
The giggle of a schoolgirl, the way you twirl your hair.
Maybe it’s the caring heart revealed when I was ill,
Giving without hesitation though you likely had your fill.
All these things no one would notice in their daily grind,
But I, yes I alone do notice they are etched into my mind.
All of these are things I see and with aging ears do hear,
Though it’s surely something deeper that brings this man to tears.
Something from the deepest recesses making two one whole,
Touching every fiber of being down to my mortal soul.
It’s something that I cannot see or put in simple words,
Futile it would be to even try sounding most absurd.
So why is it that I love thee, still a foolish thing to say,
It’s everything about you that that I never could betray.
