The tenderest touch
Kissed by the first rays of dawn
Your skin against mine
Wrapped in Egyptian cotton
Cool in the rapture

Greatest Friends Were We
Greatest friends were we
Long before we were lovers
Our bond has been strong
No more could I have ever asked
My companion, my beloved
Spoken from the heart–
Never have I loved you more
Than I do this day
Twenty five years espoused
Once two, we’ve lived long as one
One heart and one soul
Through time, traveling this path
Winding and rocky
We comfort each others pain
‘Til we taste our final kiss

Blackened Heart Draws Blood (Tanka)
Blackened hearts draw blood
Cross and careless with their words
Hate grows like a weed
How does passion turn so cold
Killing off those we once loved
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Yellow Butterfly (Tanka)
Yellow butterfly
A short life lived with gusto
There’s no tomorrow
Like the throes of our passion
I’ll love you until the end

Cool and Refreshing
Cool and refreshing
I touched her to my lips.
Sweetly anointing my soul,
Her love cradling me,
Caressing me with a silken hand.
She is soft yet passionate;
Flowing over me,
In me, through me.
Under my lover’s touch
I am vulnerable to her spell.
Just as clay in her hands
I am kneaded,
Ready to do her bidding
Without question or concern.
She likewise–
Is the caldron I stir,
Churning desire with each stroke
Until she boils over.
Two souls melding into one,
Flesh on flesh,
Heartbeats in unison,
Never to be parted
In this life or the next.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I Give You My Heart
I give you my heart
Each beat saying I love you
In angelic tones
You hear them in me like song
With your ear pressed to my chest
Words would surely fail
They are but man’s invention
I–their apprentice
Unworthy to speak the heart
So the heart speaks for itself
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I Ache For You
I ache for you,
Nerve endings strain against the skin that represses them.
Agony and ecstasy bound into one vessel
Waiting to draw you close and ravage you.
This–a torture worse than a thousand deaths
I would not trade.
Nay–the devil may try to lead this soul astray,
But he will surely fail.
You, my beloved, are all that this unworthy beast desires.
The scent of your hair,
The softness of your silky skin
Caressed under my calloused hands,
Your love, though I am flawed and fragile
Is all that I desire.
I offer my heart, soul, blood and bone to you,
No conditions, free for your taking.
What more can I give than my life
Which was yours from conception.
You are my destiny, my love, my life,
The one that I live for
…And the one I would gladly die for.

The Candle Flickers (Tanka)
The candle flickers
Growing ever more brilliant
As it burns through time
Not unlike my loving heart
Offered without condition
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A Playful Nibble (Tanka)
A playful nibble
The lightest flicker of tongue
Erogenous dance
~
No music is required
In this sensual samba

O’ One of Pure Heart
O’ one of pure heart,
Surely it must be enveloped in resin
Otherwise how can it not break.
Thine voice sings the beauty of angels,
Thine face art most ravishing,
Still how many times hast thou fallen prey to artiface,
How many times hast thou succumbed to frisson in the face of night?
Drawn, art thou to that which promises thee harm
Excluding nothing from thy circuitous journey.
To castigate thee would serve no purpose;
Nay, it would serve only to drive thee to be taciturn.
In this I fear that thou wouldst be lost to me forever.
Therefore I am destined to love thee just as thou art;
Embracing thy peculiarities and thy uniqueness
As endearing and part of thy mesmerizing charm.
O’ one of purest heart,
I shall love thee forever and ever.
