Last night I laid quietly by your side.
Only the sound of your breathing could be heard,
Very soft and low over the silence of night.
Enchanted was I by this simple act.
I thought back to when we first met,
So long ago in what seems like a previous life.
Beauty of your body and spirit enthralled me,
Love at first sight captured me,
In the many years since, it has not abated.
Never questioning fate we have become one–
Destined for eternity–as lovers in Heaven.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Fold into my arms
‘Tis were you’ve always belonged
Love is in the stars
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Breathing heavily
Heartbeat rapid–heart attack
The symptoms of love
~~Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
It comes not in a jar,
Can not be boxed, placed in a sack.
There is no recipe,
No cookbook, no formula to concoct.
There is no raffle,
No lottery, no auction to crave.
It’s no magic potion,
No spell, no wand you can wave.
Very often there’s pain
It slashes, it slices right down to the bone.
Frequently it’s blind,
It’s crippled, it’s stunted as others have shone.
But more often than not it results in true bliss,
It’s passion, it’s love that is tops on the list.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
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
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,
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.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Filleted flesh from bone
Cut by separations blade
My love so distant
Pain so intense I’m in tears
Draining blood from heart and soul
When will my wounds mend
When will tears finally dry
When will torment end
Reuniting with my love
Never again torn apart
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Glass so delicate easily breaks
Throwing, dropping–it matters not
A million shards will be its fate
Not unlike the tender heart
.
When handled coarsely it slowly bleeds
Crimson tears that may never heal
A gentle touch is what it needs
Embraced by passionate lovers feel
.
Absent the heart will surely shred
Perhaps forever left in ruin
All hope for love is left for dead
What remains of the heart are strewn
.
That which is fragile must be treated with care or damage permanent may be done
For the passion of lovers is something they share on their journey to meld into one
.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Sing to me–
WIth gentle breaths
The song I know so well.
To this melody my heart races;
Like the wings of the hummingbird
Beating ever faster to keep pace with your song.
Oh how your crescendo leaves me breathless!
Words can scarcely describe
As I await the triumphant end.
You– the seasoned maestro hold the wand;
Each wave a note closer to the finale.
How masterful you are in your genius,
While I…awestruck,
Am captivated by love.
