Nighttime closing in

Finally peace and quiet

Mind and body sleep

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Shaken From a Dream (Senryu)

Shaken from a dream

Reality seems blurred

Which of them is real

.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Restless (Acrostic)

Reading, writing

Everything and anything to sleep

Standing on my head…no I can’t do that

Tick-tock goes the clock

Listening to the voice in my head

Eager for it to be silent

Staring into the darkness

Secure that it will be another sleepless night

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Hesitant to Rise (Haiku)

Hesitant to rise

Sun’s fingers tickle my cheek

Warmth of a lover

.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Glimmer Of Morning (Haiku)

Glimmer of morning

Warming my cheek in slumber

Urging me to rise

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Sleep Is But A Pit (Tanka)

Sleep is but a pit

Black, void of anything real

What is all the hype

Dreams do not exist for all

Some simply sleep in darkness

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

Weary From The Day (Tanka)

Weary from the day
Sunset draws me to slumber
Like a lover’s kiss
Embraced by the tranquil night
I bid a tender adieu

~~Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Shine On Haloed Moon (Haiku)

Shine on haloed moon

Over nighttime sky thou art king

Thy subjects slumber

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Turbulence Of Day (Haiku)

Turbulence of day
Melds into a peaceful night
Beauty in silence

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Moments Before Sleep (Senryu)

Moments before sleep
The perfect end to days stress
Finally at peace

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
